My mother and my grandmother are pioneers of Mexican cuisine in this country so I grew up in the kitchen. My mom Zarela Martinez was by far my biggest influence and inspiration - and toughest critic.

We never had a bathtub. Mom would bathe me in the wooden or tin washtub in the kitchen or in a big lard can.

I was always a drama queen. I remember playing in the kitchen trying to get my mom to think I was dead and call the police. When she didn't I would cry. I was always theatrical. I don't think any of my relatives are surprised.

I have a little kitchen office at home where I do all my kids' stuff.

The people recognize themselves in their commodities they find their soul in their automobile hi-fi set split-level home kitchen equipment.
