I interviewed her on my radio program a little over a year ago when she was in Seattle on her book tour. She is a very interesting, very New York girl!! :)

Hey,I made a post with a link to this video a few weeks ago but got no response. I found the aspect of how dishes get completely made-up, or transformed over time, and through cultures, most interesting. How even a dish like Gereral Tso gets transformed and homogenized to something it was not originally within about 30 years.
