What I like to do when I go out is enjoy my friends and the food around it. If we have to stop and give five minutes to the chef, then I'm down with that. But if the chef has to interrupt every course to tell us how important this new revolution that's happening is, then I'm not so much interested in that.

I might use milk if I was using a touch of milk to make like a lasagna or a baked pasta. But cream? That is totally not the way they do it in Italy, and it's not a very good thing. It's kind of a blanket for flavor.

I am happiest when I am with my wife, Susi, and our two boys exploring and loving something for the first time.

Bologna is the best city in Italy for food and has the least number of tourists. With its medieval beauty, it has it all.

You know, when you get your first asparagus, or your first acorn squash, or your first really good tomato of the season, those are the moments that define the cook's year. I get more excited by that than anything else.

My kids and I make pasta three days a week now. It's not even so much about the eating of it they just like the process. Benno is the stuffer, and Leo is the catcher. They've got their jobs down.
