Bril­liant Brus­sels Sprouts at Toloache

I recently spent four glo­ri­ous days in mid­town Manhattan.

For two of those, I was pretty much clos­eted in the Roger Smith Hotel attend­ing back-to-back sem­i­nars at a cook­book conference.

And apart from a few heart-wrenching hours spent watch­ing the stun­ning but trag­i­cally haunt­ing pho­tos and videos of the holo­caust at the Museum of Jew­ish Her­itage, there was no other agenda.

My Interview with Judith Jones, Julia Child’s Editor, at her Home in New York

judith jones My Interview with Judith Jones, Julia Childs Editor, at her Home in New York

I arrived at the door of Judith Jones’s compact, six-room apart­ment in a clas­sic brown­stone on New York’s Upper East Side to the sounds of enthu­si­as­tic, high-pitched bark­ing on the other side of the door.

It was her lit­tle white and furry Havanese dog Mabon who was happy to see me and pro­ceeded to jump up and down as I entered the cozy place where she’s lived for sev­eral decades.
