The Chef's Recommendations -
There are reasons why you are as healthy as you are.
This is the idea that the food that is put into their body will have the greatest effect on the lifestyle of a person over a long period of time--from when they are a baby until when they reach adulthood. An environment where cooking is close to her has been with her for as long as she can remember. And thankfully, she says, she was very healthy. Her unchanging desire is to pass on things that she has received.
