New Year's Resolution

Happy New Year, y'all!

I could not let an entire year (actually I think it's been 18 months) pass without updating my blog and publicly stating that my resolution for 2010 is to finish my proposal and the first draft of my cookbook! The past two years have been overwhelming from both a career and personal perspective. I've still been doing as much cooking as possible, but I haven't had the time to do much writing. And this is a shame as I've had so many great things to share.

The bonus to my demanding workload is that it has taken me to amazing cities to enjoy many outstanding meals which I promise I'll share with you in the coming weeks. I've also been fortunate enough meet Bobby Flay, Thomas Keller and Dan Barber in his own kitchen at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. And I have the pleasure of going to the Cayman Islands in a few weeks to attend the Cayman Cookout where I'll get to meet Anthony Bourdain, Eric Ripert, David Chang, and my personal food hero - Grant Achatz. It's going to be a good year.
