The reality is that we connect through food, and we have the opportunity to do it three times a day.

I realized that food was actually a metaphor for bringing us all together. It's about us communicating and being like family.

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

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.

The sharing of food is the basis of social life.

I think about food literally all day every day. It's a thing.

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

Food for us comes from our relatives, whether they have wings or fins or roots. That is how we consider food. Food has a culture. It has a history. It has a story. It has relationships.

Sitting down to eat in our house is about sharing, you know, talking about the day you've had, be it in school or work or whatever, so that's very important to us.

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