Chicago, IL

Best meal I ever ate:

My grandmother's scrambled eggs or My dad's aunt's chicken and dumplings.

My current drink of choice:

A good beer or an expertly made cocktail. I lean toward Newcastle. I hate to admit I enjoy Cosmopolitans. A dirty martini sounds really good right now.

I really wish I could:

Handle eating offal. I can do sweetbreads, but that's about it.

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

I'm adventurous enough to try something new for each dinner party. Even without a dress-rehearsal. I like to keep it interesting so there aren't many repeat performances.

My favorite comfort food:

Pasta, Potatoes, Bread, or Cake

My most tattered cookbooks:

America's Test Kitchen (several editions), The Way to Cook (Julia Child), The Naked Chef (Jamie Oliver), Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook
