I Think Every Young Cook Wants To

I Have No Formal Culinary Training, Right.

I Wonder If I Love The Communal Act Of Eating So Much Because Throughout My Childhood, With Four Older Brothers And A Mom Who Worked In The Restaurant Business, I Spent A Lot Of Time Fending For Myself, Eating Alone - And Recognizing How Eating Together Made All The Difference.

Hopefully, Imparting What's Important To Me, Respect For The Food And That Information About The Purveyors, People Will Realize That For A Restaurant To Be Good, So Many Pieces Have To Come Together.

My Favorite Wines Are Zinfandels.

One Of The Problems With Writing A Cookbook Is That Recipes Exist In The Moment.
