I Went In Saying I

I Had A Little Epiphany When I Was A Writer At 'chicago' Magazine. I Sat Down To Dinner At The Ritz-carlton. Somebody Poured A White Dessert Wine With Chocolate Cake. It Was A Wine I Would Never Have Expected To Make Sense. The Idea Of Any Wine Tasting Fabulous With Chocolate Cake Was Fascinating To Me.

My Place In Chicago Is A 105 Year Old House, But I Really Like Contemporary Spaces Too, So It's Refreshing And Fun To Be In A Space Where You Can Do Contemporary Things.

For Me, The Kitchen Is The Most Special Room In The House. It's A Place For Adventure - Not Drudgery, But Discovery, Sharing And Showing Off With Friends, Trying New Ideas.

I Think That Curiosity Happened On These Reviews Where I Was Just A Guest Of The Reviewer, Because It Introduced Me To New Cuisines And To The Idea Of Cooking As A Mechanism For Studying Other Cultures And Understanding Other Parts Of The World.
