I'm In A Loft And The Kitchen

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.

Not To Sound Too Much Like Christopher Guest In 'waiting For Guffman,' But On Thanksgiving You're Putting On A Show!

If I Have Committed Any Culinary Atrocities, Please Forgive Me.

I'm Really Trying To Respond To The Foods That Are In The Stores And Just Pulling The Things That Are The Very Best And Cook What Looks Beautiful And Is Seasonal. That's The Way To Go. I Love Going To The Grocery Store And The Market. None Of It's Drudgery For Me. Washing Dishes Is The Drudgery.

I Think What I Do Differently From A Lot Of Tv Chefs Is That I Break Down Barriers And Make Fine Food More Accessible To The Regular Person, Who Might Be Intimidated. I Try Hard, Particularly With Wine, To Make It Not Intimidating. It's Sort Of A Teaching Job.
