Best meal I ever ate:

Hard to choose -- almost every meal in Manhatten has been truly memorable, but maybe Gramercy Tavern was the best.. (definitely not Babbo -- got sooo sick after eating there).

My current drink of choice:

A really good black tea (from Fortnum & Mason or Whittard's).

I really wish I could:

Stop man's inhumanity to man, and contribute to creating world peace.

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

'Cheating Chicken Curry' -- people always ask for the recipe.

My favorite comfort food:

God, so many! Of course mac and cheese, but I love Persian food (pomegranate walnut chicken with heavenly saffron basmati rice) and homestyle French food (Beef Bourguignon with buttery mashed potatoes, yum!).

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

Bishop's in Vancouver

My most tattered cookbooks:

The Joy of Cooking -- other than the JoC, I mostly kluge together serveral versions of a recipe from online sources.
