Cook the Book: 'Summer on a Plate'

My husband...he never cooks but will eat anything I put in front of him. He has made me adventurous in my quest to cook everything.

Cook the Book: 'Mario Batali Italian Grill'

I just use olive oil, salt and pepper. It goes with everything.

Cook the Book: Falafel Crab Cakes

I don't usually eat anything with champagne. I am just happy to be drinking it.

I lived in the Virgin Islands when hurricane hugo hit. We didn't have electricity for 4 months. My mom made a tuna casserole on the grill. It was fantastic.

Cook the Book: Lidia's Italy

This sounds perfect for my father. He just discovered how much he loves fennel.

I think the ghost of Julia Child will be with most of us, whether or not we recognize it, and these days, I love watching the Iron Chefs.

I like Paula Deen because most of her recipes are similiar to my Mom's southern style.

Rachael Ray is my mentor. She has several T.V. shows and a magazine and she does it all in 30 minutes. Thanks for the contest. I would love to win that book.

My mentors are all of those wonderful people who frequent farmers markets and cook simple, fresh, wonderful food for their families. The people in Italy have the right idea, they cook what is best, what is fresh and then share and enjoy their wonderful cuisine with those they love. Truly the way to live and enjoy life!
