I started to look at what I do and why I do it.
And I realized that you can make a perfectly delicious meal
That everybody will appreciate and feel taken care of and nourished and connected with.
And the more low key the meal is and the less exhausted you are, the better the party is.
Because people just subliminally feel uncomfortable if they feel like you've worked yourself to the bone.
And as Nora Ephron once wrote, I'm just paraphrasing.
If you answer the door and you're like exhausted and your hair's on fire, people feel terrible.
They don't want to feel like you've like given everything to make dinner for them.
They want to feel like it's a good restaurant.
They greet it at the door.
You're happy to see them have a drink.
Let's sit down.
Let's talk.
Not like I can't talk to you now because I have something in the oven.
I realized the parties that were the best where everything's made in advance or served at room temperature.
It's simple food.
It's delicious.
And you're happy to be with the people that you love.
And that's really it.
The master of this was a cookbook writer, Lee Bailey, who lived in Bridgehampton and had a wonderful store called Bailey Huebner at the old Henri Bendel.
