In designing sweaters as much as cooking, I like the way certain textures go together, how it feels to take various blades through different foods.I approach cooking with a Like Water for Chocolate mentality, it explains why I can never make the same recipe taste exactly like my mother’s or grandmother’s. I dont have their hands, their hearts. I find cooking to be a form of meditation, and I love
feeding people. If you don’t take your leftovers home with you from a restaurant, expect me to come over to your table and remind you of starving children, and most likely, the less fortunate in the street right outside. I also like recipes that can easily be changed to meet different tastes and to use up leftovers. I don’t believe in dieting. I think health is a combination of exercise you dont notice (dancing, s*x, playing around with friends, swimming, biking) laughter, happiness, whole foods AND comfort foods. A balance of organic, natural foods, and artificial cheese!!! : ) I think its important that if you are going to eat unhealthy things, they had better be worth it. Also, I have PCOS, which makes it difficult for me to process sugar and to lose weight, and a crap ton of food sensitivities, so that definitely contributes too.
