I'm Not Just A Female Chef. I'm A Woman In A Brand New Hotel, And That's Why I Think It's So Perfect To Be At The Cromwell, In A Corner Of One Of The Busiest Intersections Of The World, With My Name In Lights. It's Different In All Those Sorts Of Ways, And I'm Hoping I'll Be Able To Carry That Through. Because If I Can't, It's A Step Back For Women In General.

My Mother And I, Our Favorite Part Of Any Baked Pasta Is The Top, Where The Cheese Gets Crusty.
