If I had the chance to meet any living chef, Dorie Greenspan would definitely be in my top five. For one thing, the woman makes a mean cookie. And two, she's adorable. Her lovely book, Around My French Table, time and time again has provided me with warm, flavorful, oftentimes very inexpensive sustenance. Her writing is charming; to read her musings on life as an American in Paris is to feel oneself go wandering out the door and out onto the Champs-Élysées.
