Best meal I ever ate:
Omakase at the now-closed Shinbay, Phoenix AZ. For home-cooked, it was Zuni Cafe style roast chicken with bread salad and green beans tossed in browned butter, with crème brûlée for dessert.
My current drink of choice:
Classic Mai Tai: 2 ounces Appleton Estate Extra 12-year Jamaican rum, 1/2 ounce Torani orgeat, 1/2 ounce DeKuyper orange curaçao, 3/4 ounce lime juice, 1/4 ounce rock candy syrup, shaken well with 2 cups crushed ice, in a double rocks glass garnished with a spent lime half and mint sprig.
I really wish I could:
Make my teeny apartment kitchen magically twice as big.
My "Go-to" dinner party dish:
Trader Vic's Calcutta Curry. Red Thai curry if I need something quick.
My favorite comfort food:
Chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, and biscuits
My top 5 favorite restaurants:
1) NOCA, Phoenix AZ 2) Cafe Poca Cosa, Tucson AZ 3) Peppermill, Las Vegas NV 4) Burger Bar, Las Vegas NV 5) Tradiciones, Phoenix AZ
My most tattered cookbooks:
The Best Recipe by Cook's Illustrated; The Cake Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum; Nantucket Open-House Cookbook by Sarah Leah Chase
