When You Go Out To A Restaurant, You Want To Be Challenged, You Want To Taste Something New, You Want To Be Excited. But When You Eat At Home, You Want Something That's Delicious And Comforting. I've Always Liked That Kind Of Food - And Frankly, That's Also What I Want To Eat When I Go Out To Restaurants, But Maybe That's Me.

In The Summer You Want Fresh, Light And Sort Of Quick Things; In Winter You Want Things That Are Comforting, So Your Body Really Tells You You Want To Go Towards Potatoes, Apples, Fennel, Things That Are Warm And Comforting. And Loin Of Pork.

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.
