As a wife and mother of three, family dinners have always been special, and I’ve made it a priority to serve incredible meals that create lasting memories. I love exploring global cuisines—Moroccan, Italian, Israeli, Japanese, and more—because food is a celebration of culture and connection. Whether hosting lively gatherings or intimate dinners, nothing makes me happier than seeing people enjoy a delicious meal, paired with great company and a perfect glass of wine.
What's your all time favorite dish to make?My favorite dish of all time is my mother's Beef Stroganoff made with tomato paste, mushrooms, sour cream and nutmeg. Yummmmm.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I won $25,000, I would take my husband on a once-in-a-lifetime culinary adventure, starting in Israel to savor the rich flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine and immerse ourselves in its vibrant food culture. From there, we’d journey to Spain to indulge in authentic tapas, fresh seafood, and world-class wines while experiencing the passion behind Spanish cooking. This trip wouldn’t just be about tasting—it would be about exploring new inspirations!
