Q: What is your fondest memory from your family kitchen?
A: In the early fall, my family would go out to the apple farm and pick tons of apples. Then my mom would cook many, many pies that we would freeze and eat all year.
Q: What kitchen aromas bring back fond memories?
A: The smell of homemade oatmeal cooking on the stove.
Q: Who is your favourite cook?
A: Jamie Oliver. I met him when we were both guests on the same talk show. He gave me cooking tips that I have never forgotten.
Q: What is your favourite food to cook?
A: Pad Thai. Spaghetti Carbonara coming in a close second. They are both easy to prepare and taste just as good as leftovers!
Q: What kitchen gadget can you not live without?
A: The spaghetti strainer. I love to cook pasta so without that I would end up using a squash racket.
Q: What rituals from your background involving food do you partake in?
A: I insist on having dinner as a family together every evening. A special treat for us is West Indian style food — curried chicken, flying fish, peas and rice.
