Cook the Book: 'A16 Food + Wine'

I had a winemaker dinner held at the CIA in Napa. On my right was the winemaker and he walked me through each glass of wine. Not just the tasting but the weather, the soil, mixing, etc.

Food Photography/SLR Camera

I just upgraded my Canon Rebel XT to a Canon 40D. The Rebel is an AWESOME first DSLR. I recommend getting the body only and then buying the lens separate. If you're on a budget, the 50mm 1.8 lens is under $100 and is a great lens - I've used it to take many many shots for SteamyKitchen as well as for my cookbook.

The Next Food Network Star's Lisa Garza: Love Her or Hate Her?

hmmm...there's just something about her that doesn't connect....the fine dining, harshness, designer look, selling $200 aprons just doesn't match someone who's culinary point of view is about feeding homeless.

About Steamy Kitchen

Website: http://www.steamykitchen.com

Location: Sarasota/Bradenton/Tampa FL

About: I'm a food writer, cooking teacher and food photographer specializing in modern Asian cooking: fast, fresh and simple enough for tonight's supper. I write a weekly food column for the Tampa Tribune Newspaper and I also cook live monthly on Sarasota ABC7.

Favorite foods: I'm currently in deep, lustful love with Korean barbeque. But of course, I'm a fickle sort and will probably change my mind...tomorrow...Generally, I love meals that involve sharing the cooking - Chinese hot pot, Korean BBQ, Temaki party.

Last bite on earth: at my Mom's house - Chinese Steamed Fish with Ginger and Scallions, Garlic Roasted Whole Crab, Chinese Sausage Fried Rice and her famous Crispy Egg Rolls
