Activism

Getting money out of politics

Bringing my kitchen to you

On both sides of my Sicilian extended family we had backyard gardeners and outstanding home chefs. Staying true to those traditions, I grow several varieties of tomatoes, peppers, herbs, and beans and feature them in my cooking. During the pandemic, I built a library of cooking videos and shared them on social media to help people discover how easy it is to make great food at home.
