Quote
"It is very sad that cooking and eating healthy food these days have become a luxury."
"You can pick your clients, which is a beautiful thing that you don't have the comfort of doing when you're working in a restaurant or a hotel."
"It's almost like the love is right there on the plate."
"Hotels teach you how to push yourself to the limit."
"Being a private chef, so much of it is storytelling. You know, it's like you want people to fall in love with the story as much as with the food because it's what will carry you through your career."
