ABOUT THIS COOK:

Everything I do is for the health and benefit of my children. I'm turning 40 years old in 5 months, but it's not bothering me. Does that mean I'm laid back or in denial?

• What do you cook when home alone?
  Simple things... but I'm never alone.

• Your most treasured kitchen possession:
  My cast iron skillet!

• The ideal number of guests for a dinner party is:
  Any number, as long as love lives there.
