I love to cook. My fondest childhood memories are of cooking with my grandmother. When I was a kid I had a garden and chickens and rabbits in my backyard so I knew exactly where my food was coming from. My husband loves my Bucatini all'Amatriciana.

When it comes to food I never deny myself anything.
