Here I am with some legendary restaurateurs and chefs after lunch at Magnolia Restaurant in Keswick Virginia- from top left: one of my dearest friends, Maria Reuge, originally an editor at Gourmet Magazine and later, co owner of Mirabelle restaurant in St James, Long Island, Moi, Maryvonne Gasparini (co owner Pomme Restaurant in Gordonsville, Virginia, with her late husband Gerard), Andre Soltner, chef owner of what was considered the best restaurant in the US for many years (Lutece, NYC), and Guy Reuge, the chef de cuisine at La Tulipe (where I worked in the early eighties) and then chef owner of Mirabelle. Oh what a wonderful afternoon we had!!!
