I Think Many Cooks Are Afraid Of

I Think You Have To Be Careful With Spices. Kids' Palates Can Be Very Delicate, And They Might Not Like Things Overspiced. In My Cookbooks For Kids, I Do A Milder Version Of My Signature Spice Blend, Emeril's Essence, Called Baby Bam, Which Has No Cayenne Pepper.

My Food Network Shows, 'emeril Live' And 'essence Of Emeril,' Are Not In Production Right Now, But I Wouldn't Say That I'm Necessarily Leaving Food Network. I Have A Lot Of Television Still In Me. I Enjoy Teaching People, So It's Just A Matter Of Time Before I Do Something New.

I've Always Been Known For Bold Flavors And Rustic Cooking, But There Is Another Side To Me. As You Evolve As A Cook, You Understand Life And How Serious It Is. There Comes A Point Where There's Got To Be A Better Balance.

We're Setting Up An Urban Farm For Kids On More Than 20 Acres In New Orleans. We Want To Make This A World-class Educational Center For The Community.
