Instead Of Going Out To

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

The Thing About All My Food Is That Everything Is A Remembered Flavor. Maybe It's Something I Had As A Child Or Maybe It's Something I Had In Milan, But I Want It To Taste Better Than You Ever Thought.

I Don't Like Sitting At A Table That's Too Large, Where Everyone Is Too Far Apart. That's A Party Killer.

I Measure Everything, Because I Always Think That If I've Spent So Much Time Making Sure This Recipe Was Exactly The Way I Want It, Why Would I Want To Throw Things Into A Pot?

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.
