I Really Love Fried Chicken.

I'm Not Tough. I'm Tenacious.

I'm An Immigrant Kid Who Came To America From India When I Was Very Young And Grew Up In New York City With A Single Mom And Really Was Influenced By All Of Those Immigrant Cultures Bumping Up Against Each Other.

The Cookbooks And The Writing In General Have Been A Real Bonus, But It's Not Something I've Ever Pursued... I've Been Lucky, I Guess.

I Love Clothes, But Really I Don't Have That Much To Say About Skirts. Before I Was Writing, I Went To Fashion Shows Only When The Designer Was A Good Friend And I Was There To Show Support.
