ABOUT THE WELL-SEASONED COOK

I like to bang out everything from burgers to beetroot malai kofta in my ("our") nifty little galley kitchen. I'm interested in a lot more of what life has to offer beyond food and cozy domesticity, but my husband [we were born September 16, 2006] and my (“our”) adored cat, Willem [he was born June 25, 2006] are my top priorities. My husband, Scott, is an executive vice president at a NYC non-profit public policy organization whose website was named one of Time Magazine's 50 Coolest Websites 2005: News and Information as well as nominated twice for the prestigious Webby Award. He is also author of a book published by Harper Collins, February 2008, as well as another published October 2009, also by Harper Collins. When we aren't indulging ourselves in heated mealtime discussions on politics, pop culture, and Pop Tarts (the ones that check into toasters, not rehab), we revisit one of our liveliest, recurring debates over TNT (Tastykakes and Twinkies.) Scott, who grew up outside Philly, says TK; and I, born in the shadow of the Empire State Building, say T. We are not calling the whole thing off. Scott is more than happy to have me assume the role of kitchen magician. This is not to suggest that he cannot be duly credited with a few spectacular successes: diner-ific pancakes; mustard-y, crumb-topped baked mac and cheese; and the frozen desserts! There’s been no better investment than the ice-cream maker I bought Birthday Boy a few years back. Every year we eagerly await the annual Memorial Day, summer season kick-off, when we can thumb our noses at the mediocre Dairy Queen down the block. Oh...yeah...we eat ice cream all year round, too.
