I am a sufferer of endometriosis. I didn't want any young women to go through what I went through. I thought that people should know about it.
From Padma Lakshmi
I am as omnivorous as it's possible to be. I always say there's nothing I won't eat and nothing I won't wear.
During the course of filming 'Top Chef,' I gain 15 lbs., so I'm used to needing two dress sizes.
I don't have any stigma attached to my body. When I'm in my own private space, I have very little on.
I was lucky to have a successful career as a model, but that was just a way to pay off my college loans.
For a while, I became an atheist; now that I'm grown up, though, I'm not hard-edged enough to be an atheist. Even though I live with a flaming atheist, I love going to temple. I love all the rituals.
The best thing you can do for someone is make them a beautiful plate of food. How else can you invade someone's body without actually touching them?
I tend to sleep in the nude... I'm a sensual-leaning woman. You have to use the word 'leaning' or it sounds like I'm boasting.
I think wine is such a big universe that it's kind of like food - it's intimidating to a lot of people, myself included.
Part of my job as a food writer is to describe food. So my work on 'Top Chef,' I feel, is an extension of that. When we give a criticism to the contestant, we want to make sure we tell them why it's not working and why it would work if they did it a different way.
