Pasta isn't just for Italian food anymore. Now there are tasty pasta recipes found in Asian cuisine, and it's emerging as a newfound love for vegans.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
Not only are pasta dishes delicious, but they are also great, easy options for a quick dinner during a busy weekday.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
Weekends are sacred for me. They're the perfect time to relax and spend time with family and friends.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
When I get the chance to make my favorite breakfast on the weekend, I often choose to make pancakes.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
The reasons for food insecurity are many and varied. But part of the problem is the global farming systems.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
They say never trust a skinny chef, but the fact is, to stay healthy when you're a chef means you have to work twice as hard.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
In the harrowing aftermath of Haiti's earthquake, one of the greatest needs became desperately clear: safe water.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
I don't distinguish the music I listen to from great music - it's just music. There shouldn't be an announcement that divides our food between what tastes good and what is good for us.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
Salad can get a bad rap. People think of bland and watery iceberg lettuce, but in fact, salads are an art form, from the simplest rendition to a colorful kitchen-sink approach.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
I would love to take a cooking class from Gandhi. Maybe I could teach him how to cook, and he could teach me his message. I wouldn't mind learning how to make couscous from scratch from a North African woman, either.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
We know so much about the European food story, and we're getting to know about the American food story; but we know so little about the African food story.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
I don't have memories of Ethiopia as a child. I didn't learn about Ethiopian culture until after I moved to New York and started meeting people from the Ethiopian community.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
As an adopted person, once you find out about that 'other' side of yourself, it's almost like you find out who you really are.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
I had great schooling, and my parents were always in front of me, or next to me, or behind me, making sure I had whatever I needed.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
Food has always been in my life. Being born in Ethiopia, where there was a lack of food, and then really cooking with my grandmother Helga in Sweden. And my grandmother Helga was a cook's cook.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
To become a good cook is to know yourself, and I, at this point, know myself. I know myself, and I know the cook I want to be and the cook I am striving to be.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
I'm an American chef. I'm American. I live here. I love being here. But, of course, it is different. A black man's journey is different.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
There shouldn't be an announcement that divides our food between what tastes good and what is good for us.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
If it's done really well, you don't want big portions because you think, 'That was so fulfilling. I'm not stuffed. I feel great.'
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
Healthy can be the new good. Eating delicious should not be sacrificed because it's healthy.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
I have never seen a picture of my mother. My mother's family never owned a photograph of her, which tells you everything you need to know about where I'm from and what the world was like for the people who gave me life.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
I started cooking for the love of cooking, and I am going to keep cooking whether there's a celebrity aspect to it or not.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
I feel like there's a lot of tasks in cooking that I want to master, that I want to do better.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
I want people to understand my journey and to be inspired by that. You can be an immigrant, and if you work really hard, you can have your own restaurant.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
I can take a lot of pride that I can launch cookbooks and there's an audience out there that supports that.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
Being an Ethiopian-born, Swedish-raised chef, there's nothing traditional about my Thanksgiving spread.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
Cooking turkey every year doesn't have to be monotonous - I want people to always mix it up using different spices and preparations.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
There are so many times there could have been a left turn instead of a right turn in all people's lives. I think mine are pretty crystal clear, because of being adopted, being born in Ethiopia, being adopted to Sweden.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
I've been lucky to travel and work all over the world through the lens of the back of the house, and I love that monocle. I love that lens, because it's real people.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
The food business is very tough, but there's also a lot of love and very giving.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
It's fascinating when you're from another place, but you don't speak the language.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
The journey into adoption started for my parents, as it does with so many families: my mother and father desperately wanted to have kids, but they couldn't.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
My father loved to take us on historical vacations, and you should have seen the stares we received in East Berlin.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
Whether you're on a diet, or you're looking for a go-to one bowl dinner recipe, salads should be thought of as crowd-pleasers, not a dreaded component of a meal.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
Although I believe affection and romance should be shown all year around, it's always smart to have a good plan up your sleeve for Valentine's Day.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
I love chicken. But, like a lot of chefs and cooks, I get tired of preparing it the same way.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
A juicy chicken breast can be the perfect accompaniment to a classic Caesar salad or a club sandwich. It's also easy to cook, and can be as simple as dressing it with a few spices and popping in the oven.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
Since truffle oil and caviar aren't always in the budget, learning to tweak and enhance just a few ingredients and flavor combinations can help you transform those ordinary ingredients into the extraordinary!
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
Let the fresh fruits and vegetables be your guide, and make something that will keep for the whole week.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
I credit my grandmother for teaching me to love and respect food. She taught me how to waste nothing, to make sure I used every bit of the chicken and boil the bones till no flavor could be extracted from them.
Quote by -Marcus Samuelsson
I learned at a young age what chasing flavors meant, and I've been doing that my whole life.
