The creator of the whimsically named Horse Eggs (aka Horseradish Deviled Eggs–recipe below), grabbed the lion's share of votes in this month's Shine Supper Club. Peek inside Sara's mind and refrigerator as she answers our usual questions:
What ingredient are you currently obsessed with?

Have a favorite food memory?
I was at a Mexican restaurant in Studio City that is known to have celebrity regulars. While munching on chips and salsa, a friend leans over and says to me, "Sara, don't look now, but is that George Clooney?" Of course, I looked right away, locked eyes with George Clooney, and was so star-struck, I blew the salsa right off the chip that was headed for my mouth. Embarrassing!

See all of this month's Supper Club entries and recipes here.- Mon, Mar 25, 2013 10:00 AM EDT | CommentsWe love eggs, but poor things don't exactly get their due. They show up for dinner when there's nothing else to make, appear on so many Saturday mornings without asking for much in return, and do excellent background work for cakes and custards. But what better kitchen stalwart than the egg, a symbol of life, to kick off the season of fresh starts, green shoots, and fragrant, warmer air? Grab your whisk, ramekins, and your frying pan.

What ingredient are you currently obsessed with?
My current obsession is definitely strawberries, ever since the arrival of the first bright red berries of the season! Most of my last week has been spent day dreaming of new ways to use the juicy little berries.
Favorite food memory?

She also made everything from scratch and was the biggest inspiration for my blog.
