I now wish I'd done a bit more as I still don't know how to make bread and it would have been my opportunity! A very good friend of mine, an actress named Hope Davis, who's an extraordinary human being, is one of those people that genuinely can follow a recipe from the New York Times. I'm sort of like, ‘What are you doing?’ as I'm just there with a bag of potato chips, and she's like, ‘Oh, we're making fried green tomato dumplings with radicchio.
