It's a funny thing about me. I don't have any interest in food most of the time now, although when I was a kid I was always hungry.
Instead of cartoons, I was the kid who was watching Food Network, falling asleep to Emeril and Rachael Ray.
I did skit comedy online for many years, beginning around 2001. Around 2006 I started watching a lot of food television and got re-interested in food. I come from a very food-obsessed family. But I also wanted to do my own thing, which was the comedy.
To be interested in food but not in food production is clearly absurd.
Do you like to eat things? -I love eating. I list it as a hobby.
My mom was a great cook so I always wanted to eat and make stuff. I did cooking in 4-H but it wasn't until I was out of college that I decided I wanted to make this my career.
As a girl, I had zero interest in the stove. I've always had a healthy appetite, especially for the wonderful meat and the fresh produce of California, but I was never encouraged to cook and just didn't see the point in it.
Whenever I get married, I start buying Gourmet magazine.
I got a fascination with food.
I have a great love for cuisine, so I'm always interested in local food, and there are so many interesting dishes, spices and ingredients in India.
I buy way too many cookbooks and read food blogs at night when I can't sleep.
I'm simple in my approach and straightforward. I connect with the average person that is interested in food.
I'm really happy to see the explosion of interest in Korean food, and this hybrid Korean-American food.
What I've enjoyed most, though, is meeting people who have a real interest in food and sharing ideas with them. Good food is a global thing and I find that there is always something new and amazing to learn - I love it!
I have never been a foodie and am seldom very hungry.
