“I am a firm believer in the ideal that food is one of the few international languages. People use food to communicate with their neighbors, their friends, and their families…to evoke emotion, to strengthen bonds, or to help break the ice. Food is the soul of one’s culture. With the large rifts this world has from one culture to the next, at least with food they are able to express themselves—and more and more they are doing so with fresh produce. Everyone must eat. The greatest meals begin with the freshest ingredients.”
