What is your signature dish?

So many to choose from Capanata mousakka Eggplant parm and ofcourse Giambotta ๐Ÿ˜‹ Update: Turns out I really enjoy (so does the family) breakfast/brunch ๐Ÿ˜‹

Who is your culinary inspiration?

First of all I owe my Mom credit for always encouraging me to keep tasting food even if i thought I didnt like. My Dad and his Italian French ancestry Grandma Denton And ofcourse Carla Hall as I wear her apron everyday. Loved every show she's been on.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Start a displaced mothers kitchen for woman in recovery. Could be apart of a sober house program. Especially for those in early recovery.
