If you could get a tattoo of a food, what would it be and why? I wouldn't because it's a traditional tattoo my grandmother had that I'm longing for...
What is one dish, drink or food topic that you're really wanting to learn or master? I'd love to master sugar and chocolate cooking techniques.

And so many others!
What is your never fail piece of cooking advice? Did someone pass it on to you? Did you learn that lesson the hard way? * If you have vegetables leftovers, make a red curry with coconut cream and coriander seeds and leaves, and sesame oil! And you'll always get warm and happy!
