I Always Like To Have

Never Let 'em See You Sweat. Guests Feel Guilty If They Think You've Worked Too Hard To Make Dinner For Them - Which Of Course You Have!

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

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

Fun Is The Most Important. If You Do Stuff For Money, It Never Works Out.

I Always Have Music. I Love It To Be Very Upbeat. When You're Having Drinks, I Like Something Like Cesaria Evora. During Dinner, I Like The Much More Traditional - Old Frank Sinatra And Things Like That.
