I'm really a cook. I used to be the opposite - I used to go out a lot - but now I primarily cook.

My dishes tend to have a very carefree style: what's ripe at the farmers market or what's in my fridge, even if I'm cleaning out my fridge. It tends to be a very improvisational style. I major in salads, but a loose definition of salad; it can have a real robust skirt steak on top of it off the grill or quinoa or buckwheat or sprouted almond.

If I have a preference, I'd rather have a home-cooked meal than go out to the fanciest place.
