- Feel

- Nov 07, 2020
Part of my job as a food writer is to describe food. So my work on 'Top Chef,' I feel, is an extension of that. When we give a criticism to the contestant, we want to make sure we tell them why it's not working and why it would work if they did it a different way.
- Contestants
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have great empathy for all the contestants that come on 'Top Chef,' whether they go home right away or they make it to the finish line. It's a very vulnerable position they put themselves in and I feel for them.
- First
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I grew up a vegetarian. Then, because I grew up in the states, I started slowly eating meat. First it was bologna sandwiches, or pepperoni on pizza.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think eating in itself is the act of great sensuality, so all you have to do is point the camera in the right direction.
- Sit
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I work out all the time! I don't just sit around and eat burgers whenever I want. Oh, if I could I probably would, but I don't.
- Ceremony
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One thing that happens when you're pregnant is that as your stomach starts to stretch. It itches! So I have to keep my belly really lubricated. Every morning, there's a buttering ceremony after I get out of the shower. It's really like basting a turkey with body butter.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am as omnivorous as it's possible to be. I always say there's nothing I won't eat and nothing I won't wear.
- Dress
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
During the course of filming 'Top Chef,' I gain 15 lbs., so I'm used to needing two dress sizes.
- Family
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In truth, I am a single mother. But I don't feel alone at all in parenting my daughter. Krishna has a whole other side of her family who loves her, too. And so Krishna is parented by me, but also by her grandmother and aunts and cousins and uncles and friends.
- Job
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I never Tweet about my daughter. Never. I just want to be respectful of her privacy. My job as a mom is to know when to open my mouth and when not to.
- Lose
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I wasn't like those girls who give birth and are back on the runway. It took me probably six months to gain 45 pounds and I would say it took me double that time to lose it.
- Hot
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Jewelry should not upstage you. I pick one hot point on my body that I'm going to highlight. Let one area do the singing - you don't want to hear three songs at once.
- Gold
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love to use a lot of spices when I cook, so we actually cast a real peppercorn in gold and then just made a bead out of it for necklaces and earrings.
- Light
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always thought the back is one of the most beautiful parts of a woman. I've created four versions of the front-to-back necklace which actually gives you two necklaces in one. I love the way they swing and catch the light as a woman is walking away. You almost want to pull on it and stop her!
- Girl
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm the kind of girl who thinks about what she's gonna cook for dinner when she's finishing her lunch.
- Everyone
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always had a fantasy to write a cookbook, because everyone wants to know what a model eats.
- Tenacious

- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not tough. I'm tenacious.
- My Own
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't have any stigma attached to my body. When I'm in my own private space, I have very little on.
- Just
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was lucky to have a successful career as a model, but that was just a way to pay off my college loans.
- Live
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For a while, I became an atheist; now that I'm grown up, though, I'm not hard-edged enough to be an atheist. Even though I live with a flaming atheist, I love going to temple. I love all the rituals.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love clothes, but really I don't have that much to say about skirts. Before I was writing, I went to fashion shows only when the designer was a good friend and I was there to show support.
- Best
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The best thing you can do for someone is make them a beautiful plate of food. How else can you invade someone's body without actually touching them?

It doesn't matter how precisely the onion is cut as long as the person chewing it is happy.
- Impress
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
All chefs are like Jewish mothers. They want to feed you and feed you and impress you. It's an eagerness to please.
- Myself

- Nov 07, 2020
I think wine is such a big universe that it's kind of like food - it's intimidating to a lot of people, myself included.
- Picture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you like a wine that you drink, now with your phone, it's so easy. Just take a picture of the label. You learn about it. You learn where it comes from and what the soil is like and why you like it. And that'll lead you to another wine.
- Food
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Wine, like food, is so emotional. If you think about it, so much of the courting ritual is surrounded by wine and food. There's a built-in romance to wine.
- Die
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Flowers die and wine gets consumed. Both are lovely. I appreciate both. Wine and roses. I actually had someone bring me a lobe of foie gras once.
- Camouflage
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've been a model for 15 years, and I've been on 'Top Chef' for eight seasons, and before that I had other cooking shows, so I've learned a thing or two about how to camouflage certain areas and how to draw the eye to a preferable area of the body.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You don't need expensive classes and all kinds of weird equipment if you really want to be in shape. There are great ways to do it that are very economical, it just takes a time commitment, even if it means waking up a half hour a day before the rest of the household gets up because that's the only time you have.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My mom was scared of the old Times Square so I was never allowed to go. Now I'm scared of the new Times Square, so I still never go.
- Character
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like me better naked. I don't mean that in a vain way... When you put clothes on, you immediately put a character on. Clothes are adjectives, they are indicators. When you don't have any clothes on, it's just you, raw, and you can't hide.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You don't want your jewelry to make you look fat. A lot of what's out there now does - you just wind up looking like a Christmas tree.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Whether I'm making a recipe or a piece of jewelry or a white-rose-and-jasmine tea or the perfume, I like to think of myself as a happy little sorceress, and if I could just have a little general store with all that stuff and give people a sense of my taste, that would be lovely.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For a long time, I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up. I was desperate to find something that fit me and I just decided that if I could organically make a professional living out of the things that interested me, then I would be a happy person.
