What would be your idea of a great romantic meal for two–a Seduction Meal, that you would serve your loved one on a special occasion?

More then the food a romantic dinner is about the people the connection and the bond that is shared by them. A meal should compliment that bond and not only bring them close but give them a shared experience that will last in their minds.

What do you think is the key to a successful romantic meal for two?

A successful romantic meal to me is a shared experience, foods that work well together flavors that don’t over power but accentuate the mood. A harmonious balance of flavor profiles and the right atmosphere.



Do you prefer dining in our out for a romantic meal?

In; it allows me to set the mood I want and allows the evening to progress at my pace not that of others around me 



What restaurants top your list for romantic settings?


Have not visited many restaurants for an romantic evening however on one occasion I went to JP’s a seafood restaurant on City Island in the Bronx and sat in a quiet corner it was very nice and the company enhanced the mood and the meal was great.


Do you have a favorite cocktail recipe to serve for your romantic meal for two?


Very simple a glass of champagne with a strawberry. Classic and goes with just about anything.


In the culinary world of chefs, restaurants, mixologists, TV shows, food movements, etc. – is there anything or anyone that inspires you?


Jacques Pepin he is my biggest inspiration and culinary role model. His style techniques and approach to food put him in a class by himself.


Are you working on any special projects or recipes at this time?



At the current time I have several projects in the works. A cookbook that will be out in the summer of this year, I write weekly culinary columns for several magazines, I will begin culinary tours in several US cities this year, I’m in the process of putting together a pilot for a possible television show. And I try to come up with new and interesting recipes everyday.
