Receive Text UpdatesI love cooking italian cuisine!! I make homemade pasta and my simple homemade marinara sauce or my homemade Arrabbiata sauce (spicy)
Who is your culinary inspiration?My father and mother are my inspiration! They taught me to cook, my father is Italian and my mother is Jamaican so I have a lot of flavor in my genes and I love cooking with them and for them! I remember the first time I cooked for the family… Failed. Took some time off from embarrassment, then went back into it and never stopped since !!!
What would you do with the $25,000?I’d put myself through college and use the rest to invest into my future and dreams
