How has food influenced your life?
My mother went to Le Cordon Bleu in Paris to learn how to cook. My family was crazy about food; growing up, I was obsessive about food and used it to fill a hole and replace love. I fasted and tried all kinds of diets, which eventu- ally shut down my thyroid. I wound up needing to go to such extremes in order to find my center; now I’m privileged to be able to help other people find theirs. What I have realized is that instead of serving as a substitute for love, food should come from love as an expres- sion of sharing and giving.
You juggle many responsibilities and roles in your personal and profes- sional life. What advice can you offer readers for achieving balance in their lives?
You must make time for what’s most important to you. Ask yourself ques- tions so that you can find places where you can pull back and reset your priorities. How much television do you watch? Are you taking time to exercise? Do you take five minutes to close your eyes, breathe and listen to internal whispers? It’s often the every- day places, people and things of value that work to keep you connected and balanced.
What projects are you working on that you’d like to share?
I’m currently producing a film based on my grandfather’s book [referring to Ernest Hemingway], A Moveable Feast, and an environment-focused television show with my boyfriend and business partner, Bobby Williams, shot in amaz- ingly beautiful places. It will start film- ing in the United States, but we plan to shoot internationally, starting with Costa Rica. Bobby and I are also writing a book, Be You Now.
