Joshua Weissman: Transforming Home Cooking with Scratch-Made Magic

I would say between the ages of eight- and that was that period that you're talking about- I was like overweight and I wasn't eating properly, and we had sort of stopped cooking for a while. And I had always loved cooking, and cooking never left my life, even during the lesser part of that experience. I just decided that I just wasn't going to cook bad food.
