What is your signature dish?

Chilean sea bass over vegetable risotto . . . but also torn between braised Welsh Lamb shank over garlic rosemary mash, steamed carrots and minted peas!

Who is your culinary inspiration?

Julia Childs ( I’ll wear my Pearls if I make it on TV ) ~ her french bread recipes, her tenacity, her magnetism, her quirky humorous charm and her strong female leadership in an historically male dominated society.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Honestly, this year our family like many everyday families is navigating some significant challenges impacting health and work so $25 k would certainly help
