I have never written a food column but I feel I know food better than most people who do. I have lived in New York, San Francisco, and Austin and try to plan vacations around food and wine tasting. I'm Italian so I prefer food be cooked correctly above all else. Simplicity and attention to detail is more important to me than intricate preparation. If an overcooked piece of salmon makes you sad, you will get along with me just fine.
