Because The Show Is Popular, People Do

I'm Really Trying To Respond To The Foods That Are In The Stores And Just Pulling The Things That Are The Very Best And Cook What Looks Beautiful And Is Seasonal. That's The Way To Go. I Love Going To The Grocery Store And The Market. None Of It's Drudgery For Me. Washing Dishes Is The Drudgery.

I Think That Curiosity Happened On These Reviews Where I Was Just A Guest Of The Reviewer, Because It Introduced Me To New Cuisines And To The Idea Of Cooking As A Mechanism For Studying Other Cultures And Understanding Other Parts Of The World.

Not To Sound Too Much Like Christopher Guest In 'waiting For Guffman,' But On Thanksgiving You're Putting On A Show!

I Had A Little Epiphany When I Was A Writer At 'chicago' Magazine. I Sat Down To Dinner At The Ritz-carlton. Somebody Poured A White Dessert Wine With Chocolate Cake. It Was A Wine I Would Never Have Expected To Make Sense. The Idea Of Any Wine Tasting Fabulous With Chocolate Cake Was Fascinating To Me.

My Whole Problem Is That All Of My Favorite Things At Thanksgiving Are The Starches, And Everyone Is Trying To Go Low-carb This Year, Even A Green Vegetable Has Carbs In It.
