Eat in the bistros of Paris more often, have one more fish stew in Pireaus, Greece and see if the food I thought was really good in Istanbul, when I was in the USAF so many years ago, is still good!
My favorite comfort food:
"Grown-up" Mac and Cheese, Pasta w/Lamb or Oxtail Ragu, Braised Chicken Legs
My top 5 favorite restaurants:
A roadside shack outside Tulum with the best grilled chicken in the world! LaVina in both Paris & Madrid, La Societe, Koln, Le Gabriel in Bordeaux and Jadis in Paris
My most tattered cookbooks:
Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home, The Joy of Cooking, All About Braising
