My signature dish has become Canadian Bennies, because my son requests it so often.
Who is your culinary inspiration?My culinary inspiration is my grandma. She is a strong healthy farm girl with Danish heritage who doesn't put restrictions on any food. She's 90 years old, and still hosting Sunday dinners. Her longevity and generosity inspire me.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would put a down payment on a house with a super dreamy kitchen so I could host all the people I love regularly.
