It's a three-way tie -- Oysters just plucked from the Chesapeake Bay, my eighteenth birthday dinner in Paris and the first meal I cooked for my husband!
My current drink of choice:
Dry white wine followed by a full-bodied red
My "Go-to" dinner party dish:
Something like lamb shanks or braised veal breast that benefits from long slow cooking and makes the house smell like somebody cares that you are invited for dinner
My favorite comfort food:
Homemade soup and really good bread
My most tattered cookbooks:
My personal collection of favorite recipes from many, many sources.
