You Have To Have Your Face In

Most Of The Time, I Grill Over High Heat. I Like Things To Move Fast. I Like The Sound And Smell Of A Very Hot Fire. I Gravitate Towards Dishes That You Can Get On And Off The Grill As Quickly As Possible. After A While, You'll Know Without Thinking About It How Hot The Fire Is.

Grilling Takes The Formality Out Of Entertaining. Everyone Wants To Get Involved.

I Wasn't Passionate About Food Until I'd Been Cooking For A While. I Started Long Before Food Became Part Of The Mainstream Media. I Just Wanted To Cook, Period.

I Seem To Respond Most To Places That Are More Cosmopolitan Because Of My Manhattan Upbringing. Some Of The Major International Cities I've Visited, Like Madrid, Rome And London, Have A Lot Of Similarities And "new York" Elements While ... Having Their Own Flavor.

I Think Cookies Are Sort Of The Unsung Sweet, You Know? They're Incredibly Popular. But Everybody Thinks Of Cakes And Pies And Fancier Desserts Before They Think Cookies. A Plate Of Cookies Is A Great Way To End Dinner And Really Nice To Share At The Holidays.
