They Say That Gardens Look Better When

The Most Important Thing For Having A Party Is That The Hostess Is Having Fun. I'm Very Organized. I Make A Plan For Absolutely Everything. I Never Have Anything That Has To Be Cooked While The Guests Are There. The Only Thing I Might Have To Do Is Take Something Out Of The Oven And Carve It.

I Love To Take Something Ordinary And Make It Really Special.

I Absolutely Adore Thanksgiving. It's The Only Holiday I Insist On Making Myself.

I Think That I Had A Very Clear Vision When I Started Writing Cookbooks What I Wanted It To Be, And That You Would Open The Book, That You Would Look At The Photograph And Go, That Looks Delicious. And Then You Would Look At The Recipe And Say, I Can Actually Make That And I Can Make It With Ingredients I Can Find In The Grocery Store.

With More And More Fast Food Available, It Takes An Extra Effort To Cook Delicious, Healthy Meals. I Have Always Been A Proponent Of Simple, Easy Food That Doesn't Take Forever To Cook So You Really Can Eat Well At Home.
