I Time Everything. I'm A Scientist At

I Learned That The Hardest Party To Pull Off Successfully Is Saturday Night Dinner. This Meal Is Expected To Be Elaborate: Appetizers, First Course, Dinner, Dessert, And Coffee. People Arrive At 7:30 Or 8 P.m. And Stay For Hours - Definitely Past My Bedtime - And They All Go Home Exhausted.

You Don't Have To Do Everything From Scratch. Nobody Wants To Make Puff Pastry!

I Love To Take Something Ordinary And Make It Really Special.

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

I've Lived In The Hamptons Since 1978, When I First Bought My Store Barefoot Contessa.
