-
What is the strangest food you have ever eaten?
Pig ear cooked Hunan style. This was not disclosed until after I'd eaten. {Lesson learned: not all mystery meats taste like chicken.}
-
What do you cook when home alone?
Pasta with pesto, golden raisins, capers, pine nuts, parmesan, and sauteed onions - or - poached eggs on toast. In other words, things that don't require a trip to the store or too many pans.
-
Your most treasured kitchen possession:
My KitchenAid Stand Mixer {in Boysenberry} and LeCreuset French Oven.
-
Your ideal meal:
If it starts with cava and ends with dessert and espresso, I'm happy. {And very, very talkative.}
-
Something you'd like a chance to eat or cook:
Cooking something in a foreign country, with a local as my guide, would be an extraordinary experience. I think food is better with a story behind it.
-
The number of bottles of wine you own:
It fluctuates based on the type of week I'm having. {Is that bad?}
-
The ideal number of guests for a dinner party is:
Six is the magic number.
-
Kitchen pet peeve:
When early dinner guests invade the kitchen...just thinking about it gets me totally wound up!
-
Your favorite cookbook:
I recently started collecting some fancy schmancy cookbooks, but I have a special attachment to The LaGrange Junior League Cookbook, a college graduation gift from a friend. It's full of heart, lacks any semblance of food snobbery, and calls for lots of bacon and butter.
