I Time Everything. I'm A Scientist At

I Time Everything. I'm A Scientist At Heart.

I Don't Like Sitting At A Table That's Too Large, Where Everyone Is Too Far Apart. That's A Party Killer.

I Always Have Music. I Love It To Be Very Upbeat. When You're Having Drinks, I Like Something Like Cesaria Evora. During Dinner, I Like The Much More Traditional - Old Frank Sinatra And Things Like That.

I'm Really A Scientist. I Follow Recipes Exactly - Until I Decide Not To. And Then I'll Follow Something Else Exactly. I May Decide I Could Turn This Peach Tart Into A Plum Tart, But If I'm Following A Recipe, I Follow It Exactly.

When I Wrote 'barefoot In Paris,' I Wanted To Make Simple Recipes That You Could Make At Home That Tasted Like French Classics.
