I believe in the magic of preparation. You can make just about any foods taste wonderful by adding herbs and spices. Experiment with garlic, cilantro, basil and other fresh herbs on vegetables to make them taste great.

Taste as you go. When you taste the food throughout the cooking process you can make adjustments as you go.

It is important to experiment and endlessly seek after creating the best possible flavors when preparing foods. That means not being afraid to experiment with various ingredients.

I believe in using fresh, high quality from-the-earth ingredients and cooking methods that protect the natural goodness and nutrients of foods, while always maximizing flavor and taste.

Balance is key in cooking - you want a little acid, a little sweet, a little savory - the flavors should be harmonious.

I like to abide by the seasons and let the natural flavor in food speak for itself. I use quick cooking techniques of high heat with very little fat, such as quick saute or wok stir-frying.

If you're trying to make a recipe that you're not even going to bother tasting, you're doing something wrong.

My dad makes food with very few delicate flavours.

Sometimes it's good to remember how bad food can be, so you can enjoy the concept of flavour to the fullest.

Simple ingredients prepared in a simple way - that's the best way to take your everyday cooking to a higher level.
