Who is your culinary inspiration?M.F.K. Fisher-I was never allowed in the kitchen growing up, it was strictly the domain of my mother. M.F.K. Fisher is the author of 27 books, and she founded the Napa Valley Wine Library. In her book, Serve it Forth, she describes peeling tangerines and the ritual she created to change a tangerine segment into a hot treat, opened my eyes to the miracle that food is in our lives. Her descriptions of simple or exotic foods is so interesting. She never stopped learning about food and sharing it.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the money to work with successful programs in my Hampton Roads community to improve access to food. Whether helping to grow more community gardens, awareness of the Foodbanks of Southeastern Virginia and the Outer banks, or local food deserts all over the country. No one should be hungry.
