All My Life I Dreamed

My Extravagance Is My Garden - It's The First Thing I Look At Every Morning When I Wake Up. It Gives Me So Much Pleasure.

I Think There Are Two Ways Of Eating, Or Cooking. One Is Restaurant Food And One Is Home Food. I Believe That People Have Started Making Food That Is Easy That You Want To Eat At Home. 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.

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

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.

Anyone Who Tries To Make Brownies Without Butter Should Be Arrested.
