Real Name:

JUDIE

Best meal I ever ate:

It was at my friend's mother's house in Paris-zucchini soup, fresh white asparagus with hollandaise ; dessert was a selection of sorbets from Berthillon, washed down with Veuve Clicquot

My current drink of choice:

dark chocolate martinis (no creamy stuff!) made with Ciroc vodka & always, French champagne.

I really wish I could:

go to cooking classes in France or Italy

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

it changes a lot

My favorite comfort food:

mashed potatoes dripping with butter. When i was in Normandy, I noticed every table had ordered a small crock of mashed potatoes. When I asked the owner why they were so special, he told me they put 1/2 potatoes to 1/2 Normandy butter! Fabulous.

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

Payard, Brsserie Julien, Union Square Cafe, Via Quadronno, Atlantic Grill

My most tattered cookbooks:

Moosewood, all of Julia Child's & all of Lee Bailey'sand of course, the "contessa's"
