1. Favorite ingredient?

Corn. Anything and everything. Grits, polenta, tortillas, street style...I could go on...

2. Favorite fruit?

Apples. There are so many types and they all have such great names: Pink Lady, Honey Crisp, Jonagold, Kiku.

3. Favorite veggie?

Cauliflower. Fried is tasty, but I will take roasted wherever I can get it.

4. Favorite food word?

Suvee as most people say, but it is actually Sous-vide ("under vacuum"). I don't have the tech for that method of cooking but maybe one day.

5. Favorite food appearance-wise?

This going to sound weird, but purple flowering kale.
