How do you define your cooking style?
I love to go to the farmers’ markets and buy fresh ingredients to cook with. I like to cook comfort foods but I lighten them up with fresh, healthy ingredients.
What’s one dish you cook well?
I make really good homemade vegan pâté. I don’t eat vegan all the time, but I like the things that are more labour intensive. It’s fun when you try and challenge yourself to create something flavourful that’s not full of fat.

What ingredient would you hate to see in a basket?
Durian. It’s an Asian fruit that smells like a dumpster. But they wouldn’t do that to us, would they?!
Who’s your biggest competition?
Roz is my biggest competition. He’s someone who really knows his way around the kitchen. But that doesn’t always mean it’s a recipe for winning.
What charity are you playing for?
I’m playing for the The Steven Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign. They work with community level organizations in Africa to give grandmothers all the help they need to raise their children.

FLASH MOB -- SPLASH MOB  -- A CROSS-CANADA DANCE OF SOLIDARITY
Over 20 Victoria grannies, undaunted by the rain that kept most others away, danced up a storm of solidarity with their Africa sisters.  Along with another 30 groups across Canada, we danced to The Eurhythmics's hit, Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves, singing the key words and grooving to moves like The ANNIE or The ARETHA.  And we had a blast!   Two dancers even arrived on their bikes!
We danced to call the world's attention to the scale of the global AIDS epidemic and the herculean role African grandmothers are playing in the response.
