Chef Mary Sue Milliken on a flavorful, season finale journey down memory
lane, starting at the age of five. An adventurous eater even then, Mary
Sue discovered a love for her Mother's steak tartare, the inspiration
for her first course, Asian Steak
Tartare. When Mary Sue was 16, she had an aha! moment at a dinner
party, realizing she was destined to become a chef after taking a bite
of shrimp mousse prepared by Greg Duda, her sister's friend and Mary
Sue's future mentor. Thus Mary Sue
created a Duo of Shrimp a la Gregory with
Shrimp and Chervil Stuffed Rigatoni
and Shrimp and Crab Salpicon. And
finally, to evoke the moment Top Chef Masters judge
Ruth Reichl decided to become a food critic, Mary Sue crafted an
Eureka Lemon Trio of delightful
desserts, including a lemon souffle reminiscent of the one Ruth ate in
Paris at age 12. Now Mary Sue challenges you to create your own
flavorful trip down memory lane and share the tasty recipes and photos
with us on
Facebook. |
