Who or what inspires you to cook?

Our youngest son, who graduated from the French Culinary Institute and Johnson & Wales, loves to shop for our food, and do the meal planning and cooking with me and my husband. He has opened up a whole new delicious world for us. I have to add that he has also helped up put on a few pounds but it’s worth every ounce!

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I absolutely love to make boeuf bourguignon. It’s a classic dish made with savory seared beef and fork- tender vegetables simmered in a rich, full-flavored sauce. That, plus à crusty baguette to soak up every last drop of thé sauce makes my mouth water! I wash it all down with a glass of the same good red wine I used in making the dish. Bon appetit!

What would you do with the $25,000?

My husband and I raised three wonderful sons who constantly show us their appreciation and I would gladly share it with them. They are hard working individuals who definitely deserve it. I always thought daughters were closer to their parents, but in our family, it is au contraire!
