I met Dana some 20 years ago at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen. This recipe is from Dana Cowin's cookbook Mastering My Mistakes in the Kitchen. Ms Cowin was the Editor-In-Chief at Food & Wine Magazine for 21 years, transforming it into a Food Lifestyle magazine. As you can imagine she met a lot of the who's who of food personalities over the years. In her cookbook is this fun conglomeration of Chefs tips and recipes from her life.
