I especially love French, Italian and Japanese cuisines.

I'm in love with 'pure' flavors, things that are natural and delicious, minimally fussed with, that showcase the season.

I particularly like Hershey's chocolate, the kind which has almonds in it.

I love all sorts of food, chocolate especially. I eat well, but I like the odd Chinese, like anyone!

I love collard greens and sweet potatoes. But like, traveling, I'm always just looking for that thing where you feel like there's love in the food. Like one of the best things, in Brazil it's feijoada. I was in Tobago in the winter, and I had the best roti I've ever had, with curry goat.

One of my favorites is chilaquiles. It's corn tortilla chips in a simple, brothy tomato sauce with a little chile for heat. It's wonderfully homey. It has irresistible crispy bits and I love to eat it. And you can play around with it - add chicken, sliced red onions, or all these different things that can easily dress it up.

I love making Italian food. And coconut chicken.
