If I were a spice, I would be…

Cumin. Highly versatile, and irresistible.

My favorite local purveyors, artisans, and farmers:

Living in Southern California, we have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to farmer’s markets, artisans and organic meats and produce. But I always like to explore new things and keep my options open. Part of the culinary experience is new discovery. So I would say my favorite market is one I haven’t been to yet.

What I love about cooking and hospitality…

Every meal is a unique creation.

What are your top three go-to pantry items?

Maseca, miso and dried mushrooms
