One more reason I love cooking is food's ability to bring people together. And my favorite day to get people together is Sunday. While it is truly my day to do what I want and feel like, I usually prefer to spend time with my loved ones. I think it is important to set-aside time for yourself, but to me that doesn't mean being alone... it means doing what you choose with whom you choose. I usually spend most of the day planning for and cooking meals for family and friends. On Sundays I can be found reading my food magazines (my current favorites are Food&Wine and Bon Apetit), at the grocery store (Agata and Valentina is my favorite - the butchers and fish mongers are fantastic people), or in the kitchen... of course I also try to get to Central Park for a run or to my favorite yoga studio.

| When preparing food, you should always be careful about physical contaminants (hair). That piece of hair in someone's dinner can really ruin all your effort. Every woman in my family has long hair, so I guess you could say we've gotten used to it. |

I love Sundays.
