Denver chef Carrie Baird knows something about successful cooking when the stakes are high. The co-owner and executive chef of Bar Dough finished in the top four on last season's Top Chef. For one challenge, she even baked upside-down cakes in a hole in the ground in the mountains.

She also answered questions from listeners—from the best way to cook cranberries to her favorite leftovers recipe—and will respond to more questions on Facebook and Instagram.
