I like Sicilian food. It's real peasant food.

I had the archetypal French bucolic upbringing, in a peasant village in deepest Burgundy.

It's a little bit more dangerous, obviously, when you have large gatherings and food laid out like this. We tend to feast and nibble and snack all afternoon.

As a child, I gained the deepest understanding of food, without even knowing it.

If I can wake up everyday before I die and know that I don't have to serve anyone food or drinks, I will be happy!
