A week ago, I was sitting in our basement in my bathrobe talking to Lucinda Scala Quinn, the Executive Food Editor of Martha Stewart Omnimedia about Bauducco Panettone. My hair was soaking wet and my cell phone was dangerously propped up on a stool while I was trying super hard not to wake up Casey & Cooper. I spent the previous week denying my nerves. This is no big deal. I’ve got this! Then, the few seconds of hold time made me a little frantic. Lucinda’s voice came on the line and my heart sank. There she is….The one I’ve been watching on TV for years…The one who changed the course of my life with her perfect fried egg! Of course I blabbed to her about my love for her gorgeous cookbook, Mad Hungry: Feeding Men and Boys and how I’ve never cooked that many recipes from a single cookbook before! It wasn’t until we started talking about panettone, when I felt like I could handle this level of responsibility. We’re just two women, talking on the phone about addictive nature of panettone and how hard it is to stop eating a whole loaf in one sitting.
Here’s our conversation!
