You Don't Feel As Self-conscious If Your Clothes Fit.

I Was Always A Person On My Mother's Hip In The Kitchen. My Mom Really Wanted Her Kids At Her Side As Much As Possible, And She Worked In Restaurants For Over Fifty Years. And My Grandfather Had Ten Children, And He Grew And Prepared Most Of The Food. My Grandmother, On My Mother's Side, Was The Family Seamstress And The Baker. So My Mom, The Eldest Child, Was Always In The Kitchen With My Grandpa And I Was Always In The Production And Restaurant Kitchens And Our Own Kitchen With My Mom. And It's Just Something That Has Always Spoken To Me.

Evoo Is Extra-virgin Olive Oil. I First Coined 'evoo' On My Cooking Show Because Saying 'extra Virgin Olive Oil' Over And Over Was Wordy, And I'm An Impatient Girl - That's Why I Make 30-minute Meals!

My Mom Worked In Restaurants For 60 Years, And What I Learned From Her Is A Lot. But If I Had To Boil It Down, Take Your Work Very Seriously, But Don't Take Yourself Too Seriously. Work Harder Than Everyone Else And Never Complain About It. Don't Go To Bed If You're Not Proud Of The Product Of Your Day; Stay Awake Until You Are.
