Receive Text UpdatesMy premium dish is Cioppino, anything Italian or Cajun. I make crawfish, Andouille sausage & chicken Gumbo for Super Bowl & have Pastrami from Katz Deli flown in. Lots of appetizers, too
Who is your culinary inspiration?My inspiration is entertaining family & friends (I'm very "social"). I love to be creative, I cook by taste, bake using recipes & I'm a major "foodie" when it comes to trying new restaurants & dishes.
What would you do with the $25,000?I donate to the local food banks so would donate some to them. I lost my husband a year ago so might take some friends on a small vacation to 1 of my favorite "FoodCities" Nawlin's or Scottsdale.
