I am a cookbook fanatic.

I always like to think I'm having a dinner party, and I'm the host, and the audience are my guests.

I've got beautiful reviews for all my books, and I'm very well thought of in the tiny circles that know me, but I'm really starving.

I've ended up feeling fonder of 'The Paying Guests' than of any of my other novels.

Every author has to eventually write a food book.

If people are going to be cooking the books, you're in trouble.

I can direct breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I take pride in my kitchen, but I'm not going to direct a movie.

My wife and I love to read. We're going to have to move out to make room for the books! And we have our dogs.

I'm a really good dinner party guest. I am always so appreciative, impressed that anyone has even managed to turn on the oven and cook for me.
