All my life I dreamed of an apartment in Paris where I could cook, and now I have one, on the Left Bank.
I time everything. I'm a scientist at heart.
Every once in a while, a cookbook comes along that simply knocks me out.
If you think about a Thanksgiving dinner, it's really like making a large chicken.
I've taught myself how to use good, fresh ingredients and to prepare them as simply as possible by cooking only to enhance their intrinsic flavors.
The most overrated tool: a pasta maker. Why make it when you can buy it? It's a lot of work!
