New York, NY

Best meal I ever ate:

An entirely custom-cooked vegan meal at a tiny restaurant a few miles north of Turin, Italy.

My current drink of choice:

Classic gin & tonic.

I really wish I could:

travel and eat my way through the south of France and Italy.

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

Couscous with almonds, dried apricots, raisins and chickpeas. Garnished with green onions (I hate parsley).

My favorite comfort food:

Chinese roast duck, roast pork, a side of rice and some slices of cucumber.

My most tattered cookbooks:

Madhur Jaffrey's "Eastern Vegetarian Cooking;" and a hilarious (and useful) 1950s edition of Larousse Gastronomique in English.
