Katie Vitucci

Quick Facts: New Canaan, CT native, currently living in South Norwalk, CT with my husband and two young boys.  I chronicle my love of cooking, gardening, photography and design at my blog, The Parsley Thief.

My current food cravings are: Pineapple Fried Rice from Village Gourmet (Norwalk, CT)

The only fast food I will eat is:  A cheeseburger with pickles from 5 Guys Burgers & Fries

If I could be any Iron Chef, I would be:  I love Michael Symon.

My favorite restaurant in Fairfield County is: I don't think I can pick just one.  My current top three are Le Farm (Westport, CT), Pasta Nostra (South Norwalk, CT) and Valencia Luncheria (Norwalk, CT)

My favorite restaurant in the Tri-State area is: Grimaldi's (Brooklyn, NY)

Restaurant dish I wish I could make at home: authentic Pizza Napoletana

My go-to dinner party entrée is:  Beef Bourguignon, Egg Noodles and Green Peas

When I’m not eating, I’m….driving my boys all over the Tri-State area for Hockey or blogging

Prepared food I have let people think was home-made…don't think I ever have 

I’d rather pick (pumpkins, apples, strawberries): Fall and Winter are big pick your own months in our house.  September is apples (Silverman's Farm, Easton, CT), October is pumpkins (Warrup's Farm, Redding, CT) and late November is Christmas trees (Maple Row Tree Farm, Easton, CT)

The last book I enjoyed was: Maine, by J. Courtney Sullivan

My favorite movie of all time is: The Breakfast Club

My favorite food related movie of all time is: I really enjoyed Julie & Julia. It reminded me of my life.
