More quotes by Padma Lakshmi
I think a great classic watch is the first staple every woman should invest in.
Padma Lakshmi
If you have children in your house you have Frosted Flakes.
Padma Lakshmi
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.
Padma Lakshmi
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.
Padma Lakshmi
India's had two groovy moments. Once when the Beatles went to India and now when Madonna has embraced yoga.
Padma Lakshmi

Padma Lakshmi

Padma Lakshmi

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.
Padma Lakshmi
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.
Padma Lakshmi
Where is it written that a smart woman can't also be stacked?
Padma Lakshmi
Most of cooking is the labor of chopping. Give yourself a break. Pretend you're on a cooking show and have all your ingredients lined up for you.
Padma Lakshmi
I always loved my bangles, I can't remember a time when I didn't have a bangle on.
Padma Lakshmi
Each city has its own culinary landscape.
Padma Lakshmi
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.
Padma Lakshmi
I will eat anything, at least once. For better or worse.
Padma Lakshmi
I am a sufferer of endometriosis. I didn't want any young women to go through what I went through. I thought that people should know about it.
Padma Lakshmi
From the simple stringing together of lemon garlands for the goddess Durga, to dividing the prasadam or blessed foods for the children first, I came to associate food not only with feminity, but also with purity and divinity.
