ABOUT THIS COOK:

I'm a young attorney, which doesn't leave much time for cooking, but cooking is my form of zen, and I do it as often as I possibly can. Originally from Austin, Texas, I have a soft spot for Tex-Mex and barbecue, neither of which is readily available in these parts, so I'm always trying to find creative ways to satisfy my craving in my small apartment kitchen. I have a long list of "food" resolutions, and I love the accomplished feeling that accompanies crossing one off the list.

  • What is the strangest food you have ever eaten?
    Mountain oysters

  • What do you cook when home alone?
    Sesame noodles, poached eggs on toast, chana masala, pasta carbonara, gambas al ajillo

  • Your most treasured kitchen possession:
    A close tie between my KitchenAid and my 12-inch cast iron skillet.

  • The ideal number of guests for a dinner party is:
    5
