When I lived in Rochester I wouldn't think of going anywhere but Wegman's.

I'll often make a big egg salad sandwich and make enough to have leftovers for lunch the next day.

I'm a fan of the Arnold Palmer, as well.

I would be tempted to ask the chef at Alto Cinco in Syracuse for the, now defunct (or so I hear), pre-Vegan cornbread recipe but it'd probably be better to save for later in the interview.

I'm a fan of the apple/brie combo.

Actually, I am not a cook! My mother made wonderful meals, but I have never had much interest in cooking. My husband enjoys cooking and He would enjoy Anna's cookbook that is filled with elegant, no-fuss meals! My mother-in-law can put together a great meal in minutes using what is on hand. She is definitely my husband's mentor. Please enter us in your cookbook drawing. Many thanks, Cindi

Nobody bakes better than my wife!!

i remember watching julia child and being totally fascinated by her creativity when i was younger. and my mother was a cajun and could whip up something fantastic with the blink of an eye. now, i love ina garten--everything i make from her books or show is delicious!

I must say that my culinary mentor is the internet.... which in essence.... is all of you! I love to eat out at new restaurants and have loads of fun coming home to "surf" for recipes of the tastiest dishes that I have come had the pleasure of eating. The internet is such a wonderful place..... it is like having access to everyone's kitchen! Thanks to all of you!
