What is currently your favorite eatery?
The Tractor Room – late nights over some paté and cocktails!
Do you have a favorite dish from any San Diego restaurant?
I love the sweet breads at Bite.
How often do you cook at home?
Once a week
What is your favorite dish to prepare?
I keep it easy. Filet of Beef au Poivre.
Do you prefer to cook with others or do you banish all human life from your kitchen?
I’m a bit of a hippie when it comes to cooking. I like for my guests to have tasks in the kitchen so that they add a bit of their self energy to the meal.
Meat and potatoes, keep it healthy, or bring on dessert?
I usually prefer a lighter fare but do go heavy with the butter and cream. Almost every meal needs a French pan sauce.
What is your favorite condiment?
Whole grain mustard
If you were any food, what food would you be and why?
I’d be quinoa. Called the “super grain of the future” and has all eight essential amino acids. Need I say more?
Name three things that are always in your refrigerator/freezer:
Heavy cream, butter and Dijon
Name three people, living or dead, you’d most like to invite to a dinner party:
Julia Child, Tori Amos and Oscar Wilde
