I'm a mom of four, author of 16 books and several prize-winning plays, and a former Los Angeles TV talk show host. I love all the Martha skills-- cooking, decorating, gardening, entertaining. Today my husband and I live in northern California with our growing family. To learn more about me, check out my website: JoniHilton.com.
What is the strangest food you have ever eaten?
I went to Patricia Wells' cooking school in Provence and had a "Violet" crustacean that was smelly, pungent, and tasted terrible! But I tried it!
What do you cook when home alone?
I take advantage of the explosion of fresh produce at Farmer's Markets here in northern California, and often stir fry a mix of veggies or whip up a guacamole for them.
