My top 5 favorite restaurants:
My favorite restaurant picks change by the hour, but a perennial favorite is Paradise Cafe in Santa Barbara, which has the world's best hamburgers.
My most tattered cookbooks:
The old Gourmet, Joy of Cooking, Silver Palate, Cookie Companion from King Arthur Flour, any of the Cook's Illustrated series.
