I love Spanish food. My diet is the Mediterranean diet, which is good food. I eat well.

There are pockets of great food in Spain, but there are also pockets of very mediocre food in Spain, and the same in Morocco and the same in Croatia and the same in Germany and the same in Austria.

I studied cooking in Spain after college.

You know, this is really a way of cooking. It's not my way. I'm deeply influenced by the Mediterranean way of being. I've spent a lot of time there. And I've sort of translated it; I've tried to make it available to people in this country to whom it might not be familiar.

I am from Spain, but my family and I have made America our home. For the last 17 years, I have been cooking Spanish food in Washington, D.C.

A Mediterranean city is really my culture.

I really like rustic mediterranean cooking. And I like trying out curry takeaways.

I cook everything. I love Mediterranean cooking, I love Asian cooking. I do lots of Japanese noodles.

I like to cook Puerto Rican food. That's what I grew up on: rice, beans, meat, some Italian-American food. I know my way around the kitchen.
