I love to surprise people with different flavors on foods that you wouldn’t expect to necessarily taste on that dish.

Receive Text UpdatesI love creating something that makes someone’s eyes bug out and say “omg, this is delicious” I feel like cooking is an extension of your mood, passion and personality. I love to eat and live to eat, not eat to live if that makes sense….
What's your all time favorite dish to make?I keep trying to perfect the “perfect bolgunaise “, but recently have been on a lemon anything kick…..lemon curd on a roasted chicken with tarragon and rosemary etc.
What would you do with the $25,000?Not sure. I think I would be shocked to even have to think about what to do with. Maybe take my kids on a cooking vacation to Italy or something. They love food, my daughter bakes and they all like to cook.
