Best meal I ever ate:
Whatever it was, it probably wasn't in a restaurant.
My current drink of choice:
Wild Turkey Manhattan garnished with sour cherries macerated in Maraschino liqueur
I really wish I could:
Have the consumate country kitchen and outdoor patio in my NYC apartment
My "Go-to" dinner party dish:
Something from the current COTM
My favorite comfort food:
Salmon wiggle on toast; fried chicken wings; Dunlop’s Beef with Cumin
My top 5 favorite restaurants:
Lamak in Ubud, Bali (food was terrific, but no small part if it’s high ranking is certainly the atmosphere); La Cueva del Pescador in Akumal, Mexico (not only for their ceviche, but for how they prepared and served our fresh-caught barracuda); Daniel, NYC (not only because food and service were outstanding, but because they treated Mom like a queen on her 88th birthday).
My most tattered cookbooks:
MtAoFC, Vols I & II; Thanksgiving Dinner by Anthony Dias Blue; Jean Anderson Cooks; Sunday Suppers at Lucques; Fish Without a Doubt; and Land of Plenty and Revolutionary Chinese Cooking
