I'm not on chef level, but I'd make a good line cook. That's not too shabby.

When I first started to cook, I would cook these elaborate meals, but I rarely cook at home now.

I am a chef through and through. Everything I do - whether it is cooking for kids in Harlem or cooking in a fine dining establishment - all my days are consumed by food.

First and foremost I am a chef, whether behind the stove at one of my Northern California restaurants or for the past 15 years in front of the camera on my Food Network cooking shows. Creating new dishes and flavor combinations that bring cooks and our restaurant guests pleasure is my job and I love it.

I started cooking when I was 18 years old, and now I have restaurants all over the world.

I love to cook. It is a simple pastime.

I studied cooking all through high school.

I was aiming for the cooks that I've talked to by teaching an online course and by traveling, listening to people who are really busy and harried but want to be cooking.

I cook all my meals at home.

I was a very good cook, and I knew I could build a business.
