So glad to have you back, but your priorities are right—your daughter comes first! Loving this season of Top Chef. And the SI photos are stunning. I think of you when I see the 7-inch scar on my leg from hip replacement. I'm not going to try covering it up this summer. You're an inspiration.

I'm also thinking I should embroider "Beauty is skin deep, but dumb and boring are to the bone" on a pillow. Or maybe a swimsuit. 😀

Thank you so much for writing. I’m glad you’re not covering up your scar. It’s taken me a long time to come to terms with my scars both internal and external, so please be kind to yourself. If you feel shy or uncomfortable this summer, give yourself permission to grab a sarong. And thank you for being here. I like the idea of an embroidered pillow!

I was endlessly obsessed with the spicy coriander sauce that you and Madhur Jaffrey cooked in Season 1, "Dont Mind if I Dosa", until I finally found it in her cookbook. Here it is on tofu, thank you for the inspiration! https://www.v8well.com/p/spicy-coriander-tofu-with-caramelized
