Ina Garten on Trying Coq Au Vin for the First Time
Briefly

"I had no idea what coq au vin was, but I took it back to our tent and heated it up on my little camping stove. I couldn't believe how delicious it was. I remember saying to myself, I need to know how to make this. The wine, the onions, that smell: It had a depth of flavor that I had never experienced before."
"A friend once told me, here in America, we're always searching for flavor. That's probably why we eat more. But in France you just want to savor each bite because it's so delicious and so special- the food is alive."
