Real Name:

rrouilly

Location:

Chicago USA

Best meal I ever ate:

I'm hoping I haven't had it yet.

My current drink of choice:

Mostly water since I'm supposed to drink more of it. Also lovely wine to go with what I'm eating or a nice pegu cocktail

I really wish I could:

Grow my own vegetables and fruits but I don't have the space (or the skill, truth be told)

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

Depends on the season. Like to do "low and slow" barbeque when we have French guests since they usually equate outdoor grilling with semi-incineration

My favorite comfort food:

Hot buttermilk biscuits with butter or dark chocolate brownies with a glass of cold milk

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

No possible way to do this. A restaurant I ate in recently that I liked a lot was Watershed in Decatur, GA. Really good shrimp grits.

My most tattered cookbooks:

The Joy of Cooking 1975 Edition; Julia Child's "The Way to Cook"; Richard Sax "Classic Home Desserts"; Joel Robuchon "Le meilleur et le plus simple de la France"; Nancy Silverton "Breads from the La Brea Bakery"; Clifford Wright "Little Foods of the Mediterranean"; Judy Rodgers "The Zuni Cafe Cookbook"; Paula Wolfert "World of Food"; Jeffrey Steingarten "The Man Who Ate Everything"
