All-time favorite Cookbook: Whenever I'm in need of a little culinary inspiration, I turn to Suzanne Goin's Sunday Suppers at Lucques for her fresh, seasonal, California cuisine.
Favorite dish to cook at home: Though broccoli rabe can often be bitter and tough, Saveur's recipe for cime di rapa fritte turns the dark green stalks, spiky leaves, and clusters of broccoli flowers into a meltingly tender side—it's a dish I return to again and again.
What you like best about your job: I'm constantly learning about different regions and their culinary traditions—and I often get to try their recipes, too!
