Made in the microwave.
In the late 1990s, Parisi worked in the executive dining room at Food & Wine before moving over to the test kitchen, where she’s still a senior test kitchen associate. She was nominated for a James Beard award for her book Get Saucy in 2005. Before cooking, she was a visual artist (which makes me think I ought to peruse her gallery for styling ideas so my original posts look less like culinary autopsy photos).
