I'm all about tucking in T-shirts.
My T-shirts wrinkle because I sweat a lot.
I'm very frugal, so I don't like to shop because I'm afraid everything is going away.
I'm definitely more of an extreme eater. I'm decadent on weekends and try to go plant-based during the week with a bit of fish - pescatarian thrown in.
I consider myself a hyperactive person.
There's so much that can be learned from French cooking, especially really traditional, more modest meals.
Learn how to treat your vegetables with the love and kindness that they deserve.
I don't like processed soy stuff.
It's important to go into the grocery store with a plan and a list. But it's a skeleton - you need to know how to deviate from it and adapt it to what ingredients are available and fresh.
I'm someone who's experienced impostor syndrome - as I think a lot of people have with their careers, especially when they pursue what they're passionate about, because they want to be good at it. I've experienced that as a gay man; I've experienced that as a cook, as a gallery director, as a student of psychology.
I love a little darkness at the table with just enough light from IKEA white candlesticks. Seriously! They look elegant but are simple and unscented and create mood lighting.
Miles Davis is my go-to for music. There's something so relaxing and ambient about it, and it can be a little manic in a good way.
I don't really sit when I'm at home.
I don't get to do quiet time.
I'm a big Hemingway and Salinger fan.
Since puberty, I've always known there was a possibility of me being with a man. It wasn't anything I felt the need to explore until the time came to explore it.
There is a level of intimacy in sharing the foods that have shaped me.
Everyone should know a sport.
Some people want to define themselves, and they should, as it's part of their identity. For me personally, I've never really had a label for myself.
I love a bit of arugula tossed in olive oil and pepper over it to just have something nice and fresh and green.
