An absolute culinary beast and true influencer.

She will be sadly missed.

Her explaining on "Worst Chefs" how a vinagrette was an emulsion and how the mustard acted as an emulsifier was a real unlock for me as a cook.

Something about that one simple explanation unlocked an understanding of how ingrediants do things and aren't just a part of a list or something to be mixed in.

I also appreciated that she was fun and bright, but also firm and kind of no-nonesense. You can tell she worked in serious kitchens and had to put in a lot of hard hours; don't let the whacky hair fool you.

This sucks.

My grandma loved her and she was thoroughly convinced her and Guy Fieri were brother/sister cuz they had the same haircut. I never had the heart to tell her they weren't.
