I absolutely adore Thanksgiving. It's the only holiday I insist on making myself.

My mother would never let me in the kitchen. I always wanted to cook, but I was never allowed to. Her view of the world was, 'Cooking is my job, and studying is your job.' I think, in retrospect, she didn't like the chaos. She was very orderly. It had to be her way.

I always like to have flowers on the table. I think they make it look special.

I always have music. I love it to be very upbeat. When you're having drinks, I like something like Cesaria Evora. During dinner, I like the much more traditional - old Frank Sinatra and things like that.

I measure everything, because I always think that if I've spent so much time making sure this recipe was exactly the way I want it, why would I want to throw things into a pot?

I'm really a scientist. I follow recipes exactly - until I decide not to. And then I'll follow something else exactly. I may decide I could turn this peach tart into a plum tart, but if I'm following a recipe, I follow it exactly.

The most important thing for having a party is that the hostess is having fun. I'm very organized. I make a plan for absolutely everything. I never have anything that has to be cooked while the guests are there. The only thing I might have to do is take something out of the oven and carve it.

I don't like sitting at a table that's too large, where everyone is too far apart. That's a party killer.

They say that gardens look better when they are created by loving gardeners rather than by landscapers, because the garden is more tended to and cared for. The same thing goes for cooking. I only cook for people I love.

The most overrated tool: a pasta maker. Why make it when you can buy it? It's a lot of work!

I love Alton Brown's show 'Good Eats,' about the chemistry of food. It's really thoughtful.

Grilled cheese and tomato soup is the ultimate comfort meal.

Instead of going out to dinner, buy good food. Cooking at home shows such affection. In a bad economy, it's more important to make yourself feel good.

I love to take something ordinary and make it really special.

If you think about a Thanksgiving dinner, it's really like making a large chicken.

I time everything. I'm a scientist at heart.

Never let 'em see you sweat. Guests feel guilty if they think you've worked too hard to make dinner for them - which of course you have!
