Who is your culinary inspiration?In a dream world it would be Eric Ripert. I scrimp and save to eat at Le Bernadine. He is not of my ether, however the inspiration is ever present My mother was an extraordinary but unorganized home cook. How could she make homemade filo in a tiny kitchen? Phenom!
What would you do with the $25,000?At long last I would bid adieu to My grocery store and continue on my journey through Europe. It was once stated that I would search " The epitome of gastronomic undulations" Not my words but my heart felt sentiment! Thank you so much for my fumbling effort.
