Read a novel a day; Eat an orange at a reasonable pace; Sail & Surf; Cook for my family and friends every night
My "Go-to" dinner party dish:
Braised Morrocan-Spiced Chicken Legs or Beef Bourguignon or Braised Lamb Shanks (things that can be prepared in advance!)
My favorite comfort food:
Any of my dad's cooking (especially his grilled cheese) or my Aunt Sherry's Dumplings

Gramercy Tavern in NYC; Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Tarrytown, NY; El Taco Veloz in Atlanta, GA; Chez Panisse Cafe in Berkeley, CA; "24" in Bejing, China
My most tattered cookbooks:
Anything by Patricia Wells or Elizabeth David; Sunday Suppers at Lucques, by Susanne Goin; The Last Course, by Claudia Fleming; The French Laundry Cookbook, by Thomas Keller; Chez Panisse Fruit, by Alice Waters; a slew of obscure, dusty finds from antique shops, used bookstores, and flea markets around the country
