“When I step into the kitchen, I am still the woman who learned to cook for my family and friends. All I need is a wooden spoon, a sharp knife and a fork. Measurements for me are like being in a cage. Salt is like a magnet and olive oil (extra virgin), like no other ingredient, is so critical to the fine flavor of Italian cooking. All that really matters in food is it must have taste. I believe
with my whole heart in the art of
cooking, its smells, in its sounds and
its observable progress on the fire.” Natalie
