Who or what inspires you to cook?

I am inspired by my family and friends and making them happy. I enjoy making foods that they enjoy and introducing them to food that I believe they will love.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Stromboli is family tradition at our holiday gathering. I always do a traditional and various others including bbq chicken, vegan and Alfredo. It has great memories for me.

I’d like to take a class at the Culinary Institute of America in New York.
