Alison: I feel like we know each other. You have attended many of my soirées via your recipe. I pretend you are in the next room when I tell guests about the lime chicken or shallot pasta. I like your cooking videos. They feel like my favorite I love Lucy’s. Looking forward to the new book. Just want to tell you that it is obvious to me (and I know many others) that you are the real deal. Keep following your heart. It is brave and fun and it shows. Prost.
