I've Always Had A Fantasy

I'm An Immigrant Kid Who Came To America From India When I Was Very Young And Grew Up In New York City With A Single Mom And Really Was Influenced By All Of Those Immigrant Cultures Bumping Up Against Each Other.

Most Of Cooking Is The Labor Of Chopping. Give Yourself A Break. Pretend You're On A Cooking Show And Have All Your Ingredients Lined Up For You.

Where Is It Written That A Smart Woman Can't Also Be Stacked?

Whether I'm Making A Recipe Or A Piece Of Jewelry Or A White-rose-and-jasmine Tea Or The Perfume, I Like To Think Of Myself As A Happy Little Sorceress, And If I Could Just Have A Little General Store With All That Stuff And Give People A Sense Of My Taste, That Would Be Lovely.
