Moroccan meal at this tiny, underground spot in Madrid that I'll never find again; chicken piri piri at a Portugese place in Montreal; chili cheese fries at Ben's Chili Bowl in Washington, DC; my first meal at Sripraphai; the first Thanksgiving dinner that I hosted for my family
My current drink of choice:
generic selzer
I really wish I could:
eat and eat and eat without gaining a pound
My "Go-to" dinner party dish:
salad with nuts, dried fruit and stinky cheese
My favorite comfort food:
Annie's mac and cheese with extra cheese and butter
My most tattered cookbooks:
I don't use my cookbooks often, but I love Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian, Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything, and Chez Pannisse Vegetables
