Chronic Malnutrition, Or The Lack Of Proper Nutrition Over Time Directly Contributes To Three Times As Many Child Deaths As Food Scarcity. Yet Surprisingly, You Don't Really Hear About This Hidden Crisis Through The Morning News, Twitter Or Headlines Of Major Newspapers.

I Think About Food All The Time. It's My Passion; It's My Profession. But Some People Think About Food All The Time Because They're Hungry. We Can Put An End To This If We Join Forces And Lend A Hand.

I Launched Chefs For Humanity, A National Nonprofit, With My Voice, Heart And Money From My Own Pocket. Money Gives You The Ability To Make A Difference In The World And, When Used In A Positive Way, Is A Lot Of Fun.

Every Public School In The Country Should Have A Nutrition-education Curriculum. We're Creating A Pilot Program At My Son's School. We Are Looking To Create A Replicable Model That Can Help Bring Good Nutrition To All Children.

I Know Growing Up As A Young Gay Person How Much You Hate Yourself, How Much You Already Think You're Different.

Set Yourself Up For Success From The Very Beginning And Then Focus On Maintaining That Success.

The Thing About Being At Home Versus Being Out In The World Working Is, It's A Whole Different Vibe. When I'm Home With My Kids And Partner, I Will Cook - Even Though She's A Very Good Cook. She's Learned Over The Years. We Started With Basics, You Know, How To Saute Onions, How To Saute Mushrooms.

No One Knew I Was Gay Growing Up But I Was Bullied. I Was A Cheerleader, Fairly Popular And Considered Straight.

My Mom Always Cooked Healthy. Greek Food Lends Itself To Cooking Healthy.

The Type Of Cuisine I Do, Especially After Being On 'iron Chef' For Several Years, Is A Lot Of Global Cuisine. My Strength Has Always Been Mediterranean Cuisine Across The Board From Morocco, Spain, Italy, Greece, France, But I Think Now I'm Doing A Lot Of Very Different Cuisines All The Time.

It's Fun To Pick A Cuisine And Say I'm Going To Research Ethiopian Food, And See What It's All About. You Find That There Are A Lot Of Similarities In Cuisines From Around The World And A Lot Of Similar Flavors.

I Think People Are More Savvy About Cooking, Food And Dining. I Notice They Are Looking For More Value For Their Money - Not In Larger Portions But More In Terms Of Healthier, Fresh, Farm-to-table Dishes With A Nice Presentation.

I've Been Experimenting More And More With Ln2, Liquid Nitrogen. I've Used It In Battle On 'iron Chef America,' But Have Also Made Some Great Ice Creams At Home For My Family. Since It Freezes Basically On Contact, You Can Have Ice Cream Ready In Mere Minutes.

In My Family, We Let Our Boys Have A Say In What Veggie Side They Want For Dinner That Night. We List Off A Handful Of Options And Get Them Excited About Helping To Plan The Dinner Menu. They're Much More Inclined To Finish Their Plates When They've Helped Decide What Goes On Them.

I Think The Biggest Thing Is Clean As You Go. Wash All Your Knives, Cutting Boards, Dishes, When You Are Done Cooking, Not Look At A Sink Full Of Dishes After You Are Done. Cleaning As You Go Helps Keep Away Cross Contamination And You Avoid Having Food Borne Bacteria.

When I'm Home, The Heart And Soul Of Our Family Is In The Kitchen. Growing Up, My Parents Both Worked, So Dinnertime Was For Family - The Tv Was Off. I Think It's Important To Grab That Time And Really Make It Special, Even After A Tough Day.

Following The Devastating India Ocean Tsunami Of 2004, I Founded Chefs For Humanity, Modeled After Doctors Without Borders, But Comprised Of Chefs. There Wasn't Anything Out There Like It, And There Was A Definite Need For Chefs To Be Able To Offer Assistance And Aid To Those Suffering From Hunger And/or Malnutrition Worldwide.

I Want To Talk To The Bullied Kids Of The World. Tell Them To Hang On, It Will Get Better. Know That An 'iron Chef,' Actors, Musicians, Artists And All Successful People Have Probably Been Bullied In Their Life. And The Best Part Of Your Life Is Yet To Come. Whatever It Takes To Live, Do It!

Right Now I'd Love To Be Sitting On A Greek Island Somewhere Because Of Being Greek American, Eating Great Octopus Salad And Some Fantastic Lamb. Or Sipping A Little Ouzo. I Think The Mediterranean Diet Is One Of The Healthiest... Lots Of Nuts, Vegetables, Fruits, Fresh Fish, Lean Meats, Yogurt.

I'm Gay, And I Was Born This Way.

I Am Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro In Africa This Summer As A Personal Physical Goal For Myself, But Also As A Way To Bring On Sponsors And Raise Awareness And Funds To Help Benefit The Programs And Initiatives Of Chefs For Humanity.

We Incorporated New Tastes And Flavors Into Our Kids' Diets From A Very Early Age, Which Helped To Develop Their Palates And Prevented Them From Becoming Picky Eaters. We Don't Buy Junk Food And Give Them Options Of Fresh Fruit, Yogurt, Raw Almonds, Or Dried Whole Grain Cereals For Snack Time.

I Like To Abide By The Seasons And Let The Natural Flavor In Food Speak For Itself. I Use Quick Cooking Techniques Of High Heat With Very Little Fat, Such As Quick Saute Or Wok Stir-frying.

When I Was Growing Up In Mississippi - It Was Good Southern Food... But I Also Grew Up With A Greek Family; When Other Kids Were Eating Fried Okra, We Were Eating Steamed Artichokes. So I Think It Played A Big Part In My Healthy Cooking.

I Would Like A Food/lifestyle Show. We're Not Sure What That Is Yet. I Want To Be Able To Share What I Do And How I Raise My Family. I Feel Like I Have A Story To Tell. I Enjoy Talking And Listening, Sharing Ideas And Sharing Advice.

I Add A Lot Of Citrus To My Food And I Think That Flavors It. And, To Me, That What Makes It Healthier, Lower In Fat, Lower In Calories. It Adds Lots Of Flavor. Spices, Of Course. But Citrus Is Definitely Kind Of My Go-to To Season And Really To Really Make Those Flavors, Make That Food Come Alive.

I Use A Lot Of Fresh Citrus, Garlic, And Fresh Herbs When Cooking To Cut Down On Fat And Sodium But Punch Up Flavor. Our Cupboards And Fridge Are Full Of Condiments - Mustards, Vinegars, Etc. That Also Add Tons Of Flavor But Are Low In Fat, Calories, Or Other Processed Additives.

My Humanitarian Work Evolved From Being With My Family. My Mom, My Dad, They Really Set A Great Example For Giving Back. My Mom Was A Nurse, My Dad Was A School Teacher. But My Mom Did A Lot Of Things For Geriatrics And Elderly People. She Would Do Home Visits For Free.
