at a rooftop trattoria in Bologna - as I recall I had gnocchi with gorgonzola and an array of appetizers from a communal table. It wasn't that the food was spectacular although it was exceelent, but the setting and the feeling of being there on our first night made it.
My current drink of choice:
My drink of choice would be an excellent Haut Briand, which I can't afford, so any good rich red Burgundy makes me happy. I also am loving cranberry juice.
I really wish I could:
Eat whatever I wanted and not get fat.
My "Go-to" dinner party dish:
steamed asparagus with Julia Child's soft boiled egg vinaigrette and hard boiled egg grated down the centre.
My favorite comfort food:
french onion soup
My top 5 favorite restaurants:
Chez Michel in Paris. In Toronto we tend to eat cheap and cheerful so I wouldn't want to categorize them as favorites. In this category we go to Le Paradis, Marcello's and King's Noodles
My most tattered cookbooks:
Payard Desserts, Julia's The Way to Cook, New York Times,
