My mom's chicken, with rice and gravy was my favorite dish as a kid, and it still is now. That's my favorite meal from her or from anybody. It's a family favorite.
We have got too many kids around the house to have a romantic meal at home. But Danielle is a fantastic cook. She does a brilliant lasagne, great roasts and a great chilli dish. She knows the way to my heart.
Food was a big part of our family gatherings, but it was usually pasta. We didn't eat that well. Everything was home-made but not much veg or fruit.
I crave my mom's Sloppy Joes.
If you have children in your house you have Frosted Flakes.
My mom fed us a lot of processed food when we were kids, like chicken fingers, grilled cheese sandwiches and quesadillas. I make those treats for my family, too, but I use organic cheeses and whole wheat bread and tortillas.
My favourite place to eat is my grandma's kitchen. She makes a mean crab cake.
My love for artichokes comes from when I was very young. My mother and father would slice the hearts and fry them, and they would be crispy around the leaves and tender at the base.
I don't do much cooking, but one of my favorite dishes to eat is my wife's macaroni and cheese.
My dad grew up with an avocado tree in his backyard. My entire family, my wife and daughters, they love avocado. I may well be allergic. It makes me physically sick.
Mum's home food was comfy, exquisite and she was also capable of the most wonderful gourmet food. She'd mix the rice and dal with stuff and roll these easy-to-pick-up extra-softened little balls of rice.
By the time we woke up on Sundays, my dad would have left home to get mutton. It was a kind of stew with thick gravy that my mother used to make in a pressure cooker. Even after the mutton was over, the cooker would still have some masala left. I used to polish it off with some rice.
If you have some potatoes, green beans and cauliflower, you have a heck of a dish that can feed an entire family.
Mum's cooking is still the best thing. It's very healthy.
My mother made the best scrambled eggs, super-loose and soft.
I'm very average. I'm into fresh, yummy family food. I'm into leftovers.
I was raised on T.V. dinners because in those days, they were considered a well-balanced meal. And when I was sick, my mother fed me beef-barley soup and peanut butter sandwiches. That's about it for childhood food memories.
My tastes in what I eat at home would be very familiar to most people who cook for families. I just organize those things a little bit differently.
I grow the vegetables my family eats. I grow enough, and we seldom buy from the market.
I had never cooked. I had never wanted any other food that wasn't from my mum. Her food is special.
At home I keep things simple with fish, pasta and soups and am often preparing stuff for the family.
It's more than just high quality food for the family table; it's growing the food in a way that does not harm the environment. That gives me emotional well-being that is important to me.
Holiday food is rich and indulgent. Going-home-to-see-family food is richer and even more indulgent.
For my last meal, I'd want an Irish breakfast with soda bread and one of my dad's omelettes with three or four eggs.
My kids like their eggs with catsup. I like mine with salsa.
