I am not a formally schooled "Chef", I was taught the joy of cooking in my Sicilian mothers kitchen. When I am in my kitchen preparing my family's recipes it reminds me of her and the loved ones that have passed on but come alive through memories made in the kitchen or around the kitchen table. For me and my family cooking and sharing food is about making memories. The time I spend cooking in the kitchen and at the table with the people I love are the most meaningful moments in my life.
