Food is not just eating energy. It's an experience.

A lot of people think about food as fuel, where you need to get nutrients in your body.

Our minds are like our stomaches; they are whetted by the change of their food, and variety supplies both with fresh appetite.

I think it's very important to feed the body what it craves and not be in your head about it, panicking, carrying around some calorie-counting wheel in your bag or something equally absurd. I'm really not a fan of that at all.

We struggle with eating healthily, obesity, and access to good nutrition for everyone. But we have a great opportunity to get on the right side of this battle by beginning to think differently about the way that we eat and the way that we approach food.

We seem to live in an age where we are quietly appalled by the idea of appetites, whether they be for sex, food or diamonds.

I think perhaps we all cook to feed some kind of hunger in ourselves. I am nourished by being surrounded by family and friends, by creating something delicious for them, by nurturing them.

Unlike curing cancer or heart disease, we already know how to beat hunger: food.

A healthful hunger for a great idea is the beauty and blessedness of life.

Viewed narrowly, all life is universal hunger and an expression of energy associated with it.
