What is your signature dish?

You name it, I’ll make it. I’m happiest transforming whole foods and ingredients into your wish dish.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

My family. I can’t imagine having grown up as anything else than the loud proud Italian-American gal that I am. Bridgeport, CT gave me so much to be grateful for.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Pay our NYC rent! Get that stainless steel cookware set I’ve been eyeing. Take my girlfriend and our families on vacation. Use the leftover as capital to start a small biz, perhaps!
