There Are So Many Things

I Love The Simplicity, The Ingredients, The Culture, The History And The Seasonality Of Italian Cuisine. In Italy People Do Not Travel. They Cook The Way Grandma Did, Using Fresh Ingredients And What Is Available In Season.

My Mom Was A Great Cook So I Always Wanted To Eat And Make Stuff. I Did Cooking In 4-h But It Wasn't Until I Was Out Of College That I Decided I Wanted To Make This My Career.

I Always Use My 'holy Trinity' Which Is Salt, Olive Oil And Bacon. My Motto Is, 'bacon Always Makes It Better.' I Try To Use Bacon And Pork Products Whenever It Can.

After Two Undefeated Seasons Of 'worst Cooks In America,' I'm Ready For A Third. Going Against Bobby Flay Takes The Challenge To Another Level, But I'm Ready To Whip These Contestants Into Shape And The Winner Is Sure To Be From Team Burrell.

Organizing Ahead Of Time Makes The Work More Enjoyable. Chefs Cut Up The Onions And Have The Ingredients Lined Up Ahead Of Time And Have Them Ready To Go. When Everything Is Organized You Can Clean As You Go And It Makes Everything So Much Easier And Fun.
