I Absolutely Adore Thanksgiving. It's The Only

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

I Always Like To Have Flowers On The Table. I Think They Make It Look Special.

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.

I Love Alton Brown's Show 'good Eats,' About The Chemistry Of Food. It's Really Thoughtful.
