Quote

I really hold on to my culture because it is what made me.

As a culture, we really like our food passive.

I take a cooking class everywhere I travel. I find it's the best way to get to know a culture.

Food is a lens for culture.

I used to have a monthly cookery column, and am a big cook, so that whole sense of connecting what one does with food to one's cultural identity has always been fascinating to me.

For me, religious festivals and celebrations have become an important way to teach my children about how we can transform living with diversity from the superficial 'I eat ethnic food', to something dignified, mutually respectful and worthwhile.

I have a fond appreciation for the Canadian culture and the Canadian food scene in general.

It's wonderful to learn about new cultures and to be able to travel easily to so many countries.

I always remember that I am a representative of my country, and I always think about the culture I'm bringing to people.

Food still isn't my thing, but I've learned to respect its power and significance.
