Every time I've made roasted feta as an appetizer (recipe printed in 9/9/07 N.Y. Times), our guests devour it. I hardly know what it tastes like myself because they never give me a chance!

Ellen is one of the few who I would be willing to stick around past dinner and actually have dessert with! Talk show hosts tend to be rather annoying.

Cook as a couple! When my husband and I cook together, everything moves faster and meals come together in half the time. Plus, what a great way to spend time together.

Law school has taught me a thing or two about stress. I invariably run for a pint of Ben & Jerry's Phish Food and a spoon. :)

My favortie grilling condiment is coarse kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, I mix this with granulated garlic and keep it in a small jar next to my grill. As far as BBQ sauce is concerned, I order Montgomery Inn sauce from Cinci, unlike other sauces the first ingredient is tomatoes.
