Favorite restaurant of late: Tazinna, in Forest Hills, Queens. Great Mediterranean fare; I love the broiled octopus!

Go-to dish for entertaining: Garlic hummus. It's so easy to make in the blender, and is always a favorite among guests. I serve it with small triangles of pita bread, toasted and drizzled with a little olive oil.

Next travel destination: Disneyworld! Taking the kids for the first time. Looking forward to the Star Wars Jedi training class at Hollywood Studios.
