People always comment about my clothes. They dont think a fashionable woman can love food and be knowledgeable and actually cook. – Padma Lakshmi
The best thing you can do for someone is make them a beautiful plate of food. How else can you invade someones body without actually touching them? – Padma Lakshmi
I know most people use their phones to tell time, but theres something very romantic and beautiful about a timepiece. – Padma Lakshmi
