Best meal I ever ate:

It was in the seaside town of Santa Maria di Castellabate, Italy. It involved sitting at a table on a cliff overlooking the sea.. garden produce, fresh homemade pasta, san marzano tomato, there were white figs at the end of it all.. it all passed in a heavenly blur.

My current drink of choice:

Big ol' glass of Lambrusco

I really wish I could:

live where I could grow lemons and olives.

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

I try and mix it up with more intimate dinner parties.. but when all the family is over (40+) of us.. it's baked cavatelli and meatballs just because it's easy, delicious and do ahead.

My favorite comfort food:

Pasta.. in all of it's wonderful variations.

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

Denino's Pizza, The Modern, Picholine, Babbo, Little Giant

My most tattered cookbooks:

The Silver Spoon, Joy of Cooking, Mastering the Art of French Cooking. The internet mostly.
