Growing up, I cooked in the house, and when I cooked, everyone would sit down and eat, and it was just kind of the way I connected with my family.

My mom and sister and I all cook.

For me, cooking is very connected to my family and friends.

As a child, I was raised with my grandmother, alongside all my cousins, and the kitchen was always full.

I grew up in the kitchen, mostly with my grandfather, my mother and my aunt Raffy.

I love to cook, and I love to have all my family around the dinner table.

My grandmother was a typical farm-family mother. She would regularly prepare dinner for thirty people, and that meant something was always cooking in the kitchen. All of my grandmother's recipes went back to her grandmother.

I live to eat - when someone else cooks for me.

For my kids, I cook everything. We have dinner every night, pretty much, just the four of us: my husband and me and our two kids.

I remember being a young boy in Spain and watching my parents cook. We didn't go to a lot of restaurants because we didn't always have the money, so cooking at home was just what we did.
