Who is your culinary inspiration?My MOM and my husband's mom, who never met. But every time I make stuffed cabbage or sour cream coffee cake, I see the little boy's joy in the husband's eyes when he eats them. So that's when I know I have done good!
What would you do with the $25,000?Go on a little cooking vacation, maybe about 5k worth, and the rest to the children locally for either their book fair or, of course, to feed them.
