I Like To Keep Things

Anything Made With Love, Bam! -it's A Beautiful Meal.

I Can't Tell You Enough About Cinnamon. Cinnamon Is An Awesome Spice To Use And It Goes Great With Something Like Apples In The Morning Or In A Mixture Of Fruit Or In Your Oatmeal Or Even In Your Cereal.

I Think You Have To Be Careful With Spices. Kids' Palates Can Be Very Delicate, And They Might Not Like Things Overspiced. In My Cookbooks For Kids, I Do A Milder Version Of My Signature Spice Blend, Emeril's Essence, Called Baby Bam, Which Has No Cayenne Pepper.

I Moved To Louisiana To Become The Executive Chef At Commander's Place. And I Must Say I Had Some Encouragement From Friends Such As Ella Brennan, The Queen Of The New Orleans's Culinary Set, And Others. This Was Very Flattering To A Young Man With A Dream. I Was Only 26 Years Old.

My Family... Always Had The Value Of The Family Table And These Cultural Influences Of Growing Up.
