I really like to sometimes go into food detox and eat very simply. 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
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. Padma Lakshmi
We tend to connect bad food and bad habits with romance and sex. Marilu Henner
Australia is the only island continent on the planet, which means that changes caused by planet-warming pollution - warmer seas, which can drive stronger storms, and more acidic oceans, which wreak havoc on the food chain - are even more deadly here. Jeff Goodell
With nine degrees of warming, computer models project that Australia will look like a disaster movie. Habitats for most vertebrates will vanish. Water supply to the Murray-Darling Basin will fall by half, severely curtailing food production. Jeff Goodell

I love Alton Brown's show 'Good Eats,' about the chemistry of food. It's really thoughtful. Ina Garten
The thing about all my food is that everything is a remembered flavor. Maybe it's something I had as a child or maybe it's something I had in Milan, but I want it to taste better than you ever thought. Ina Garten
I worked for the Office of Management and Budget in the White House, on nuclear energy policy. But I decided it would be much more fun to have a specialty food store, so I left Washington D.C. and moved to the Hamptons. And how glad I am that I did! Ina Garten
There's nothing more romantic than Italian food. Elisha Cuthbert
No, I love Montreal... I think I love Montreal more than Montreal loves me... I love the food there. Kathy Griffin

I don't feel any pressure to lose weight - and in any case, if I didn't have my food I'd be a nasty piece of work and wouldn't be able to function. Cat Deeley
I want to make wines that harmonize with food - wines that almost hug your tongue with gentleness. Robert Mondavi
It's my first presenting role so I'll be nervous, but it's going to be great fun. I can't wait to sample the food and meet the celebrities. Hopefully I can inject some of my own glamour. Nicole Appleton
