My mom at first. She would let me make mini pies in pyrex cups when she made full pies so I could make and eat my own.

My mentors were first, my Mother, and recently, Bobby Flay. He gives a good example of tweaking a recipe every Throwdown!

Ina Garten's or Jacques Pepin's books are the cookbooks I turn to when I need a special recipe.

I would have to say Alain Saillac and Jacques Pepin although I didn't spend enormous amounts of time with either of them during my time ant FCI, they made their presence felt, and their philosophy, attitude, skills and generosity of spirit will always stick with me.
