One of my favorite dishes, absolutely from my childhood, was something my grandmother made, on my mother's side. It was a shepherd's pie, and I really adored that.

My mom is an OK cook. She'll skewer me for saying that openly, because she claims to be a very good cook. She can make about, I don't know, 10 dishes, I think, which is four dishes more than I can make.

My cooking style is simple, healthy, and very basic.

I'd encourage anyone at any level to take lessons, as it really can turn you into a different kind of skier.
