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
All chefs are like Jewish mothers. They want to feed you and feed you and impress you. It's an eagerness to please.
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'm still amazed at how much people are willing to humiliate themselves to be on TV.
Padma Lakshmi
In southern Spain, they made me eat a bull's testicles. They were really garlicky, which I don't like. I prefer to take a bull by the horns, not by, um...
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
I've always had a fantasy to write a cookbook, because everyone wants to know what a model eats.
Padma Lakshmi
Each city has its own culinary landscape.
Padma Lakshmi
I think a great classic watch is the first staple every woman should invest in.
Padma Lakshmi
