Q
What’s the most overlooked ingredient?

Onions! They are used in everything but they get no credit. They add sweetness to sauces, you can throw them raw into a salad for zing, they’re great pickled too... Just so multipurpose.

Q
If you were a food, what would you be?
A

Grilled pompano. Simple, delicious, full of flavor and meaty.

Q
You're having a bad day. What's your comfort food?
A

Any type of curry, it warms my soul.

Q
What's a family recipe that will be forever enshrined in your home cooking?

Fried flying fish with parsley sauce. My granny would make this on special occasions.
