What is your signature dish?

Anything my clients, friends and family want! That's my signature dish. Everything is made with the same amount of love. Though, I make a mean cioppino!

Who is your culinary inspiration?

I'd have to say my lovely mom's LACK of culinary expertise is my inspiration! When my dad fell ill I started to cook so he could enjoy delicious and healthy food while fighting the good fight. RIP to them both! And of course Carla and mr. Flay, Brooke Williamson, michael Symon, kardea, etc

What would you do with the $25,000?

Since my husband and I both got laid off, I would help us and other families get back on their feet and then of course continue to grow my catering business to feed other busy and hungry families!
