“Secretly in my heart, I believe food is a doorway to almost every dimension of our existence. ... Food never was just food. From the time a cave person first came out from under a rock, food has been a little bit of everything: who we are spiritually as well as what keeps us alive.

“As an artist, I think it's critical for keeping yourself alive that you try to get your hands into something a little bit more intensely.
