You have guests coming for dinner, what are you making?

Greek-style roast chicken with roasted vegetables, side salad, homemade herby focaccia, and I’m making the guests bring any dessert/drink/side that they want!

What’s your favorite ingredient to cook with?

Any seasonal vegetable. They always taste best in-season and I can do a million things to a single vegetable that can make it both stand on its own or perfectly compliment the protein, carb, etc. of the overall dish.

What’s your favorite season to cook in and what dish are you making?

Spring- some sort of bright and herby lamb, sauteed asparagus or other seasonal vegetables, and crispy new potatoes with lemon
