What felt like endless foie gras, poolside, in Provence
My current drink of choice:
Always and forever: Martini, up, twist. No funny stuff added.
I really wish I could:
Not have to work -- instead, spend my time learning how to cook French, all kinds of Asian, Middle Eastern and Indian foods... and throw fabulous dinner parties for family and friends.
My "Go-to" dinner party dish:
Hard to pick one... for salad, an arugula salad with shaved fennel and orange supremes... for main dish, a classic lemon and herb-roasted chicken with mashed potatoes... for dessert, lavendar cookies with Haagen Daz vanilla ice cream
My favorite comfort food:
Chinese noodles
My top 5 favorite restaurants:
In DC: Citronelle, Proof (at the moment), Sushi-Ko, Sakana, can't think of a 5th right now...
My most tattered cookbooks:
Fannie Farmer, Florence Lin's Regional Chinese Cuisine
