A few of you have asked about my Christmas menu, and I wanted to share a jumping off point. This month, Judy Rodgers, a great chef from Zuni Cafe in San Francisco, died at the age of 57. Zuni was a home away from home when I lived in the Bay Area, where I had so many peak dining experiences with friends. And once, I had the privilege of enjoying a lunch cooked by Judy at her house. So I knew I wanted my dinner this year to include a signature dish from her restaurant. After combing through the Zuni cookbook, I landed on the Caesar salad, which is the best I’ve ever tasted. I’ve never made the recipe before, but I know that Christmas will be the perfect occasion. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
