Food can bring people together in a way nothing else could.

Swiss chard is undervalued in Britain. It's a great substitute for spinach and keeps its shape well.

I am sure that in the story of Adam and Eve, the forbidden fruit was a fig and not an apple, pear or anything else.

I generally don't follow domestic news that much aside from how it relates to the stories I'm covering abroad, like what Americans think of the War in Afghanistan.

I love my kitchen. On the weekends, we have friends over, the kids are buzzing around, and we cook and talk.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
