  • About
  1. Bread.
  2. Olive oil.
  3. Garlic.
  4. Tomatoes. (See Alice Waters’ recipe for Pasta with Tomato Confit.)
  5. Herbs—Basil or rosemary, perhaps.
  6. Salad greens—Wild rocket or chicories.
  7. Noodles—Any kind. I had great soba noodles recently, and I love Italian pasta.
  8. Citrus. I like citrus a lot—everything from limes to blood oranges.
  9. Figs. I like them fresh. I like baking fish in fig leaves, which gives it a coconut-like flavor and is very aromatic. And I like cooking over fig wood.
  10. Nuts. It’s hard to choose—probably almonds or walnuts.
