My culinary inspiration was my grandmother and my mom. They taught me that food is love, and care served on a plate. From their kitchens, I learned to cook and to honor tradition, and to create meals that bring comfort, and togetherness.

I’ll Be Very Grateful and Humbling. And Set some aside for retirement. And take a small trip
