Cleanliness is very important. If you let kids make a total mess in the kitchen and then leave, you're not really teaching them anything. Emeril Lagasse cleanlinessimportantkid Change image and share on social
When I want to kick it up, I like to add hardwood chips or chunks to the grill; it adds bold smoky flavors. The most common woods are hickory and mesquite, but you can find alder, apple, cherry and, my personal favorite, pecan. Emeril Lagasse addalderapple share on social
You know, in 1975 I couldn't get a job in New York City because I was American. The kitchens were predominantly run by French, Swiss, German, and basically I got laughed at. I had education, I had experience, but got laughed at because I was American. Emeril Lagasse americanbasicallycity share on social

I love fresh citrus and always keep lemons, limes, and oranges on hand; they come in handy for spritzing up quickly grilled meats, seafoods, and vegetables, especially when followed up by a quick drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Emeril Lagasse citrusdrizzleextra share on social
