I love spicy food, love it. But wasabi is just painful.

I think there is a real misconception about Indian food being super spicy. And I know that's because when you go into an Indian restaurant, it is pretty spicy. But it doesn't have to be. In fact, my husband can't handle a lot of heat. I've had to temper my cooking so that he can eat with me.

Nothing is pleasant that is not spiced with variety.

A good spicy challenge strikes a balance between flavour and fear.

Braising eggs in a flavoursome, aromatic sauce is all the rage. It is warming and comforting, ideal for the morning when you are not normally up for a great culinary challenge.

I make the best eggplant parmigiana. Except maybe my mother. The way she makes it is delicious. If I told you how, I'd have to kill you.

I just don't tend to cook eggplant at home.

I love spicy food.

As cool as I want my kids to be, they're just like any other kid. They don't love eggplant unless it is covered in cheese.

I have an obsession with hot sauce. I love Cholula. I put Cholula on everything.
