I can't grill vegetables, shellfish or steaks without tongs. Don't bother with those long-handled grilling tongs normally found in the BBQ section of your home store. Get intimate with your grill and opt for the regular stainless steel tongs.

I don't want any vegetables, thank you. I paid for the cow to eat them for me.

- Douglas Coupland

I don't even know what my natural colour is. Natural? What is natural? What is that? I do not believe in totally natural for women. For me, natural has something to do with vegetables.

I learned so much more prepping vegetables than I ever did in cooking school.

- David Chang

What people don't think about when they think about New York is this amazing farmland that grows wonderful fruits, vegetables, seafood, game, and fowl just outside of Manhattan.

Even if you are vegetarian, you do want to have a stuffing for Thanksgiving. The stuffing is not so much about the vegetables, but it's very unique to the season.

Accepting your own mortality is like eating your vegetables: You may not want to do it, but it's good for you.

When I am brushing my teeth, I'm bending my leg behind me, or I'm lifting my leg up and holding it in that position so I'm squeezing my butt in. I can do that while I'm washing or slicing vegetables, too. Or I go up and down on my toes, working my calves a little bit.

I've always liked root vegetables because most of them have a natural sweetness. They have a high fructose content, especially when you cook them and caramelize them in a saute pan. Or you can take a turnip and cook it slowly in the oven until it's browned, and it takes on a kind of sweetness. These vegetables are pretty easy to like.

I had all kinds of allergy problems with certain meats, and with fruits and vegetables with pesticides. So I turned to bear, caribou, venison, hippopotamus, buffalo, elk and moose. Taste-wise, buffalo and elk are tied for first. Not gamy, and loaded with protein. And very expensive, I might add.

When your kids are their hungriest, put out raw vegetables and dip - simple. It takes two seconds.

Go vegetable heavy. Reverse the psychology of your plate by making meat the side dish and vegetables the main course.

I grow vegetables - I'm a vegetarian; I've got strawberries, artichokes, leeks, broad beans.

- Anita Pallenberg

I eat mostly vegetables and fish.

- Andrew Tan

I love to roast vegetables - carrots, fennel, and so on. I also love to mash or puree pretty much any vegetable!

- April Bloomfield

I definitely gravitate towards things like vegetables, chicken, brown rice, but I don't deprive myself of anything. If I want a Sprinkles cupcake, I'm having a Sprinkles cupcake. But I'm not going to have one every day... you just have to have a sensible outlook on all of it.

- Abigail Spencer

I love fresh vegetables and we always include them in our meals. I don't force my kids to eat asparagus, but they do eat peas, broccoli, and carrots.

- Alison Sweeney

Everything that pushes up out of the earth I love. Everything under the earth, root vegetables, I love to cook.

- Alain Ducasse

My son, Arzhel, is two, and he eats vegetables twice a day. We have a vegetable garden on our farm in the Southwest, and he gets two baskets, one over each arm, and says, 'Garden, Papa!' and then he eats what he picks.

- Alain Ducasse

I eat an enormous amount of fruits and vegetables.
