"Cooking with your kids and showing them where food comes from is such an important part of this food movement. I'm a little bit anxious that that's being lost." [8:30]
"When you have formal training, you're somehow stuck with it in your head- whereas if you don't, you can be more open and experiment." [11:00]
"I think Toronto chefs are excited about the nose-to-tail experience. We're not as behind as we used to be." [25:45]
