A steamer is like an inhaler, so you can inhale this oil or frankincense or eucalyptus. Before I go onstage, I spend half an hour taking in that steam, and it saves my life!

The secret is to cook the aubergines the day before and let them dry of all the oil they drank in cooking. When you cook aubergine, they eat a lot of oil. It can be very heavy.

The physics of water is central to cooking, because food is mostly water. All steak that you cook is actually boiled on the inside.

I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food.

I wouldn't exactly call it 'cooking' but I can make noodles. That means I can boil water, put the pasta in and wait until it's done.

Along with enough sleep and taking proper supplements, I steam - in my steam shower. I find it's very healing, more than just your typical 'tea and honey.'

There is a certain degree of 'steampunkishness' that creeps into my books.

My mom bought me this amazing baby-food maker, the Beaba. I steam and puree fruits and vegetables, and they last for, like, four days.

Taste as you go. When you taste the food throughout the cooking process you can make adjustments as you go.

I still don't know how to cook and that's just unacceptable.
