I Cook And I Chat. That's What

I Do 280 Episodes Of Tv A Year, Write 15 Recipes For The Magazine, And Publish An Annual Book. With All Of That, We Try To Get One Weekend A Month With Isaboo At Our Home In The Adirondacks To Relax And Recharge.

My Husband Cooks Fancier Food For Himself Than I've Ever Cooked On-air. I Call Him From The Road, And He's Making Champagne-vanilla Salmon Or Black-cherry Pork Chop. Half Of Me Is Feeling Unworthy. Not Only Am I Not A Chef, I'm Not A Better Cook Than My Own Husband!

I Don't Know That I Have A Favorite Meal. When I'm Cooking I'm Thinking About The Person I'm Feeding And I Want To Make Them Whatever They Want. My Husband's Favorite Meal Is Carbonara. I Guess My Favorite Food Is Anything My Mom Makes. Because Like Anybody Who Loves Their Mother's Cooking, If You Try And Make Your Mom's Recipes, They Never Taste Quite The Same. And I Don't Know If That's Because She's Lying About What She's Putting In There And Just Not Telling Me. Like When I Turn My Back, She's Sneaking Something In There. It Just Never Seems To Taste The Same.

I Am Burger Obsessed And I Love Playing With The Idea Of What A Burger Can Be For People. I Make Burgers Out Of Everything From Grains To Seafood To, Of Course, Browned Meats Of Every Kind. What I Love About The Burger Is It Makes Food Accessible And Fun For Everyone.

I Work Too Much To Be An Appropriate Parent. I Feel Like A Bad Mom To My Dog [isaboo, A Pit Bull] Some Days Because I’m Just Not Here Enough. I Just Feel Like I Would Do A Bad Job If I Took The Time To Literally Give Birth To A Kid Right Now And Try And Juggle Everything I’m Doing.
