Acerca de mí
Have been cooking professionally for about 35 years now owning two successful restaurants, and working for 2 others. Love writing about food and all life's mishaps. Happily in love with my partner for the last 39 years, and still my best friend. Indulging in my business blog site, and talking to others about food and what it does for our soul. My soul is always hungry!!!
Influencias de Cocina
My ex-stepmother, Gloria. She could take mud and make it taste incredible. Developed a taste for Italian foods through her influences in my young life. My mom, for hating to cook at all thus pushing me out into the food universe to learn on my own. Gary, for teaching me everything he knows about food and restaurant cooking. TV cooking? Anne Burrell, what-da-palate!!! Michael Chiarello for his advancement of Italian cooking. And I love what heat and chiles can do to a dish: thanks Bobby Flay!!
Otros Servicios
love to cater large and small groups and parties....am lucky: Gary is a visionary when it comes to decorating for a party or occasion. He sets the mood for my food. What a pair!!! Compiling my first and only cookbook for chefs who want to experiment with flavor and sauces. Love the fact how home-made or store bough condiments can change and broaden your food repertoire. That little pinch or addition can make all the difference in the world....
