Best meal I ever ate:

It's a moving target -- changes all the time.

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

No such thing. Right now I am on a braised endive with prosciutto kick.

My favorite comfort food:

Mom's potato salad. Tastes like home.

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

Currently: Ousteau de Baumaniere, Arpege, French Laundry, Tallent, Avenue Sea

My most tattered cookbooks:

Magic Cookery (published about 40 years ago by my Lebanese grandmother's Syrian Orthodox Church); my first Chinese cookbook (had lots of color pictures and a spiral binding. I can't remember the name, but I've cooked it to pieces); my two original Moosewood cookbooks; Patricia Wells, Bistro Cooking; Molly Stevens, All about Braising (my current favorite)
