More From Ted Allen
- "I’m a home cook and love to read about food, but I’m not trained as a chef. I’m just really into cooking and passionate about it."
- "Believe me, I understand the need for easy and speedy. After a 12-hour day of shooting ‘Chopped,’ say, I’m talking stir-fry, spaghetti, heck, peanut-butter sandwiches. But that’s not about the joy of food. That’s survival."
- "When I come home from a shoot, I’d rather reheat food I’ve made than eat takeout."
