HelloBeautiful: What is the go-to dish for the man or woman who can’t cook to impress their significant other?

HB: What ingredients should a cook always keep in the kitchen?

CGG: Good olive oil, good kosher or sea salt, fresh herbs, fresh garlic, pastas are always an emergency saver. And in my refrigerator, there’s always brie.

HB: Do you have a dish you recommend to those who are afraid of cooking?

CGG: Salmon is a great dish for the novice cook. You can cook it from medium rare to well and it’s usually good. It won’t break apart easily. Salmon is always a good safe starter.

HB: What are your favorite places to go for food when you travel the US?

CGG: My favorites include: Nobu in New York,  Oyster House in Philly, The One Sushi + in Atlanta and RivaBella in Cali.

HB: What’s next for you?

CGG: I’ve recently launched “G. Garvin Live” and that is a culmination of my life through food and music – two of the most important things to me. It entails a DJ, stories and conversations who I am and my journey. It’s usually 6-7 courses, fun, food and entertainment. The food line is probably the most important thing that I’m working on right now aside u TV. It includes gourmet nuts, cookies, the oils, the sea salts, vinegars.
