Never Let 'em See You Sweat. Guests

Instead Of Going Out To Dinner, Buy Good Food. Cooking At Home Shows Such Affection. In A Bad Economy, It's More Important To Make Yourself Feel Good.

The Dirty Little Secret Is That I Grew Up In A Household Where There Were No Carbohydrates Allowed, Ever. No Cookies, No Bread, No Potatoes, No Rice. My Mother Was Very Extreme In Terms Of What She Served. Since I Left Home More Than 40 Years Ago, I've Been Making It Right For Myself.

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

When I Thought My Professional Career Was Over, It Hadn't Even Started Yet.

If You Think About A Thanksgiving Dinner, It's Really Like Making A Large Chicken.
