One Of The Great Gifts That You

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

I Absolutely Adore Thanksgiving. It's The Only Holiday I Insist On Making Myself.

All My Life I Dreamed Of An Apartment In Paris Where I Could Cook, And Now I Have One, On The Left Bank.

My Mother Would Never Let Me In The Kitchen. I Always Wanted To Cook, But I Was Never Allowed To. Her View Of The World Was, "cooking Is My Job, And Studying Is Your Job." I Think, In Retrospect, She Didn't Like The Chaos. She Was Very Orderly. It Had To Be Her Way.

With More And More Fast Food Available, It Takes An Extra Effort To Cook Delicious, Healthy Meals. I Have Always Been A Proponent Of Simple, Easy Food That Doesn't Take Forever To Cook So You Really Can Eat Well At Home.
