Who is your culinary inspiration?Honestly, My godmother, growing up in an Italian American home she taught me the love of food, cooking from her garden and from scratch, of course how to stock a good pantry. But mostly how food brought all of us together for hours at the table, chatting, eating and bonding over the meal.
What would you do with the $25,000?With 25,000, I would start that cookbook and begin the self publishing process.
