I am the author of "Life of A Restaurant," based on my experience as the owner of the former La Colombe d'Or restaurant. In addition, I wrote a chicken cook book and a memoir. I continue to write food and life style articles for major magazines.
"What's for dinner" is the big question in our house. I think about it when I can't sleep and compose possible menus. I shop, I prep, and I cook. I may order in or buy a prepared dish.
Dinner, accomppanied by wine, is the highlight of the day. Mostly it's pretty good; sometimes it's great; occasionally it flops.
