I think that food ties us to our community and our traditions, and it's the thing that makes us feel good and connected.

Almost every time we get together with family or friends, the conversation ends up being about food.

Food is so important - it sustains us, it provides a social focal point, and it is fun. I cannot unravel the difference between love in my family and the preparation of food because they are so closely woven.

Food brings people together on many different levels. It's nourishment of the soul and body; it's truly love.

Food was a labor of love you felt by cooking it and eating it.

I realized very early the power of food to evoke memory, to bring people together, to transport you to other places, and I wanted to be a part of that.

We're social beings, and food is one of the things we can use three times a day to connect with family or with friends.

Food is our common ground, a universal experience.

Food can bring people together in a way nothing else could.

Food, to me, is always about cooking and eating with those you love and care for.
