The keys to successful sauteing are, first, patting dry the food, then hot fat and an uncrowded pan. A souffle has a much better chance of rising if it is put on the middle rack of an oven preheated to 400°, which is then immediately reduced...

Schumacher of Swedish Haven, Pa., are every bit as convincing as his faded movie stars and pop singers going to fat. Their predicaments, in fact, are often more convincing since O'Hara well knows how it is that bizarre events can occur in the most banal surroundings...
