Nor would they be at my house. I've said from the beginning that I pay
attention to allergies, sensitivities and religious scruples. One of my
closest friends is a Bhuddist and eats here safely and happily.

How I cook professionally is entirely different from how I cook socially.
Professionally I cook only classical Italian foods from all the regions.
Socially I cook all over the globe.
