Past contest winner, AJ Dale of Long Beach took the grand prize with her recipe for California Sea Bass with Citrus Jalapeno Herb Vinaigrette. We asked AJ how she formulated her winning strategy:

When asked if she’d be competing this year and what she’d be cooking up, AJ says:

this year! As for hints on what I will submit this year? Well, I recently learned that there are two rules for success: 1. Never reveal everything you know…”
