My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

Something I can prepare ahead of time.

Sunflower Seeds -- Crazy huh?

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

Right now I'm frequenting... Greek Town Grill, Nick's Pizza and Catalina Fish Kitchen, all in Costa Mesa. I had a fabulous dish at Asia de Cuba in L.A. not too long ago. My favorites vary, but consistency is a must.

My most tattered cookbooks:

No one in particular -- I have about 130 that I utilize consistently. I specifically like cookbooks that focus on one topic, e.g., The Art of Indian Cooking, Seductions of Rice, Roasting A Simple Art, The Olive and The Caper, Totally Garlic, etc.
