Обо мне
I am a mom, a VP, Executive Creative Director and everything in between. I have learned ways to keep it all in balance. From cooking, gardening and motherhood to business, marketing and career–join my journey to keeping it all together...gracefully. My recipes and cooking tips are smart, thrifty, quick, healthy and delicious. I am first generation Italian, so my approach to cooking is how I was taught by my mom and Nonna; fresh & simple.
Кулинарное влияние
My parents and my grandmother were my main influences. They were born in Italy and immigrated here in the late '60s. When they moved here, my grandmother and Uncles lived on Taylor Street in Chicago-a historic, well known Italian community. SO my life was immersed in a rich, traditional culture. As I grew up, I remember watching Julia Child on PBS. It was the only TV cooking show really on, and I absorbed it like a sponge. Now that I am an adult, I have been influenced by Gordon Ramsay, Mario Batali, Charlie Trotter, Martha Stewart and even more earthy sources like Kraft Food and Family magazines and Cooking Light and various blogs I read. Life is an influence! I try and absorb it all when my busy life permits!
