Q: Why did you decide to not eat out?
A: Aside from simply wanting to save up at a time when I needed to the most, I wanted to better appreciate food by playing a more active role in my everyday diet.
Q: Do you still not eat out?
A: Not all the time anymore. Fun restaurant outings, exotic cuisines, chefs whom you admire and can trust -- all these are reasons "for" eating out. But if I can help it, I prefer home-cooked food any day.
Q: Who published this book?
