I ended up turning down a full scholarship of music at the conservatory to pay to go to cooking school. ↗

I have a lot of influences. I'm American-schooled. I'm classically trained. I'm a pretty universal student, if you will. I have a lot of degrees, which really don't pay the rent. I have two doctorate degrees, I have a bachelor's degree, but I'm still a cook. ↗

I think many cooks are afraid of undercooked meats. A good thermometer is a cook's best friend. ↗

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. ↗

I try to teach my son about sanitation, especially when handling foods like chicken that could be dangerous. I remind him to wash his hands all the time. When my son cooks with me, he stands on a step stool so he can reach the stove. I teach him about safety and fire. ↗

My office in New York is overflowing with all kinds of cookbooks, and in New Orleans we have a huge culinary library. So yeah, I guess I'm a little bit obsessed. ↗

Radishes grow just about anywhere. People think, 'Oh it's just a radish.' But radishes are delicious, and people don't think of cooking them. ↗

People always comment about my clothes. They don't think a fashionable woman can love food and be knowledgeable and actually cook. ↗

I'm the kind of girl who thinks about what she's gonna cook for dinner when she's finishing her lunch. ↗

The cookbooks and the writing in general have been a real bonus, but it's not something I've ever pursued... I've been lucky, I guess. ↗
