"One thing people can do is adapt their recipes. We all kind of get stuck cooking one way. Instead of going, 'Here's your food, you gotta eat it, this is the way it's cooked' and then you cool it like that all the time, you have to start getting creative." –Cat Cora, the first and only female Iron Chef, author of Cat Cora's Classics With a Twist (Houghton Mifflin) and mom of four
