Greek yogurt, fresh berries, wine, cheese, and everything else you need for charcuterie for any impromptu guests.

Secret guilty pleasure?

Catching up on People magazine while flying to my next work meeting.

What are you currently reading?

Currently reading three books: Fourth Wing (fiction), The New Menopause and The Menopause Brain (both non-fiction; prepping for the next chapter of life).

In general: truth or dare?

Truth.

Culinary inspiration?

My Dad. He could seriously make a delicious and nutritious meal out of an empty fridge. He was the primary cook in our family, making meals with love to feed me and my four sisters.

If you had to eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Pizza. It might just be the perfect food.
