Profile

Best meal I ever ate:

Not to sound arrogant, but probably something from my kitchen. Nothing like fresh, hot food customized for my tastebuds.

My current drink of choice:

Gin & tonic with cucumber and mint Summery rose wines.

I really wish I could:

Learn to clean while I cook so I don't have a huge mess at the end.

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

For summer: anything on the grill. Lately it's been chicken under a brick.

My favorite comfort food:

Homemade pasta, french fries, ice cream. I have to live up to my name...

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

Too difficult for me to choose.

My most tattered cookbooks:

I'm one of those cooks who likes to keep my cookbooks pretty neat and clean. Of course, there are the occasional stains and splatters. My overall favorite cookbook is the Zuni Cafe Cookbook. The recipes instruct, inspire, and ignite my passion for cooking! Am currently enjoying A16's cookbook.
