When I started cooking the meal at home, after I had started cooking in restaurants, I usually would prepare bay scallops or lobster.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My ideal meal varies, depending on the time of year. Lobster on a deck overlooking a beach at sunset is one - but all my kids have to be there, because they are all lobster-lovers. Making a bolognese sauce over pappardelle for my husband on a winter evening, because he loves my bolognese sauce and it's his comfort food.
As soon as I get home, all I want to eat is seafood.
I'm fairly adventurous with my eating. I've tried kangaroo, and Moreton Bay bugs, which are a kind of lobster, are so good.
When I first started to cook, I would cook these elaborate meals, but I rarely cook at home now.
I'm really into food; it's one of my favourite things - everything from potato waffles to lobster.
Being from Baltimore, I'm a crab cake snob, and I'm very particular on where I eat my crab cakes.
It's always a good idea to chill your crab cake mixture for a few hours, or even overnight, before frying because they'll hold together better.
I've actually always been a big fan of seafood. Sushi is one my favorite things.
Seafood was always my favorite food. I mean, fried lobster? Come on. Once I found out shrimp, scallops and lobster were my allergic triggers, I had to change my diet.
Buy the best you can find or afford and don't over manipulate it. If I cook a scallop, the best praise you can give me is that it tastes like a scallop.
