  • About
  1. Wheat. I’d want to make pasta, bread, pizza.
  2. Potatoes.
  3. A tree that grows both lemons and oranges. Citrus is one of the great balancers in my food—it adds sparkle.
  4. A cow or a goat. For milk, cheese, yogurt.
  5. Grapes. Wine enriches your life.
  6. Spinach. One of the most satisfying vegetables I know. (See Joyce Goldstein’s spinach salad recipe.)
  7. Chicken. For eggs, soup.
  8. Olives. For olive oil—plus I like them by themselves.
  9. Mushrooms. They’re like meat. And they’re very versatile.
  10. Vegetables. Asparagus, peas, eggplant!
