Who is your culinary inspiration?I am addicted to the Food Network, Fox and the Cooking Channel. I listen (at night, all night with earbuds) to all the shows such as Master Chef, Hell's Kitchen Chopped, Beat Bobby Flay, 24x24 Last Chef Standing, BBQ Brawl. I remember as a little girl watching Julia Child and Emiril Lagasse on TV. I watch Culinary inspirations Alex Guarnaschelli, Bobby Flay, Gordon Ramsey, and love watching the competitions,and I dream about being in them but never get the food cooked cuz I can't find anything!
What would you do with the $25,000?I would buy the whole set of HEXCLAD pans! My husband and I have been retired for 5 years. We live between our condo in Oshkosh, WI, and in our RV in Hancock, WI, and snowbird to Florida in our RV during the winter months. The money would be nice to add to our retirement fund which seems to be quickly dwindling with the prices of food and gasoline these days.
