What's your all time favorite dish to make?Mediterranean Roast chicken with preserved lemon, prunes & olives, basmati rice . This may not be my daily favorite, but clients will recall a job I did and they always talk about that chicken!
What would you do with the $25,000?As a foodie that is also just finding myself out in the dating pool again after 30 years, I’d love to start doing pop-up dinner series in different cities. It would be a great way for people to get off the dating apps and meet like minded singles in a safe environment.
