Real Name:

Amy

Location:

West Bloomfield, MI and Hypoluxo, Fl

Best meal I ever ate:

Those eaten when famished...doesn't matter what it was, but trust me, it was the best meal I ever ate. Try it some time, you'll see what I mean.

My current drink of choice:

Petite Syrah-discovered last Thanksgiving

I really wish I could:

Sleep through the night . Then I would be a more alert and neater cook!

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

pesto w/ basil from garden (summer), chicken arrabiata (winter)

My favorite comfort food:

Roast Chicken w/ carmelized parsnips and carrots, garlic, and lemon- yumm and when I'm really in need of comfort, warm milk poured over broken pieces of graham crackers, smashed up just perfect, some pieces soggy, some crunchy

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

Pita Cafe at various locations throughout Arizona, Noble Fish for fab & fresh sushi, Uptown Parthenon for authentic Greek, toss up between Chez Panisse (cafe) and Mustards, and can't come up with fifth beacause I like eating at home best of all

My most tattered cookbooks:

Silver Palate (not just tattered but in 3 pieces... that's just because it's old, not because I'm careless-really)
