One of the things I do in my cookbooks is I will do a conversion from outdoor to indoor grilling so you can do it year-round.

I don't think there are any footsteps to be walked in. No one else has taken things that you can buy at the grocery store and put them together. I hope that I have a career as long as Julia Child.

I like doing food as a focal point on my table. It is not like going out and buying flowers or candles, which are expensive.

I always buy the smaller turkeys. On the pre-baste put pats of butter on the meat under the skin, put the skin back on, put a bunch of seasoning on the top, call it a day, put it in the oven. With a 10 - 12 pound turkey you are done in a couple of hours.
