      Your Best Shrimp Recipe

      Spicy Shrimp

After graduating from Wellesley College, I decided to head straight to the French Culinary Institute. I then worked in the kitchen at a great NYC restaurant (Prune) for a year, and am now working here! I've been known to throw dinner parties for more people than can comfortably fit in my apartment, and I have a kitten named Mushroom. I spend far too much money at Broadway Panhandler and have monogrammed spatulas. Really.

  1. What is the strangest food you have ever eaten?
    fennel ice cream. i hated it. a lot.
  2. What do you cook when home alone?
    Pasta. Roast Chicken. Olive and Cream Cheese Sandwiches.
  3. Your most treasured kitchen possession:
    My pink KitchenAid mixer. Best birthday present ever. Thanks, Mom.
  4. The ideal number of guests for a dinner party is:
    12
