  • About
  1. Salt. It’s the basis of life. It would satiate my palate.
  2. Olive oil. It’s the healthiest oil in the world.
  3. Wheat. I love the flavor of bread.
  4. Maple syrup. I even eat it with yogurt. It’s a childhood thing.
  5. Yogurt. I eat it every day. I love a good yogurt, like Nancy’s (which is made in Oregon).
  6. Basil. I love basil.
  7. Tomatoes. Another childhood thing—I love tomatoes.
  8. Duck. It’s plain, flat-out simple and delicious. There is no comparison to a beautifully roasted duck that you’ve rubbed with salt and lemon juice—to me, that is like heaven.
  9. Raspberries. I love them, and they’ve typically got more flavor than strawberries.
  10. Butter. It’s one of the gifts of nature—and no animals died to make it.
