Iron Chef Alex Guarnaschelli on cooking with her 11-yr-old

By KELLI KENNEDY - Associated Press

Food Network chef Alex Guarnaschelli smiles during an interview on Friday, Feb. 21, 2014 in Miami Beach, Fla. &quot;You have a shelf-life on TV,&quot; she joked during a panel discussion at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival. And the exposure has a price. As much as she enjoys the opportunity to promote herself on television, &quot;Every once in a while I want to get up and cook,&quot; she said as the other chefs nodded. &quot;I feel heartsick.&quot; Guarnaschelli is chef at Butter in New York City and a winner of the Food Network’s popular show &quot;The Next Iron Chef.&quot; She recently took a hiatus from cooking because she felt &quot;fried&quot; and instead turned to teaching _ &quot;Having students was so inspiring.&quot; But the departure lasted just a year and she went right back to cooking _ and cooking on television.
