You Can Be Miserable Before You Have

I Worked For The Office Of Management And Budget In The White House, On Nuclear Energy Policy. But I Decided It Would Be Much More Fun To Have A Specialty Food Store, So I Left Washington D.c. And Moved To The Hamptons. And How Glad I Am That I Did!

My Extravagance Is My Garden - It's The First Thing I Look At Every Morning When I Wake Up. It Gives Me So Much Pleasure.

I Think That I Had A Very Clear Vision When I Started Writing Cookbooks What I Wanted It To Be, And That You Would Open The Book, That You Would Look At The Photograph And Go, That Looks Delicious. And Then You Would Look At The Recipe And Say, I Can Actually Make That And I Can Make It With Ingredients I Can Find In The Grocery Store.

Every Once In A While, A Cookbook Comes Along That Simply Knocks Me Out.

You Can Get Bogged Down In A Recipe That's Got A Lot Of Steps And A Million Ingredients, And It Takes All Day To Make. And Then You Realize, You've Just Got One Dish. For Thanksgiving, You Want An Abundance Of Choices, And So You Want Dishes That You Can Put Together Really Quickly, But That Doesn't Mean Less Flavor.
