Being A Publicist Is Like Management In

I've Always Been A Foodie. My Grandmother Got Me Hooked On Cooking.

I'd Love To Give My Girls A Traditional Thanksgiving With Turkey And All That Jazz, But We've Raised Them To Love Tuscan Food So Much That They Don't Care For It. My Favorite Is A Nice Polenta With Beef Stew And Broccoli Rabe On The Side.

I Used To Watch My Grandmother Make Fancy, Julia Child-style Beef Bourguignon. And Growing Up In New York City, I Was Exposed To Many Cultures. I Experimented With Puerto Rican And Jamaican Food.

Thanksgiving Was Always A Favorite Holiday For Me. The Preparation Was Fun! My Grandma And I Would Walk To The Butcher On Jamaica Avenue In Queens, Order The Bird, And Buy All The Fixings At The Market.

I Was Doing An Hour Drama On Television And A Jackie Chan Movie In Toronto, So I Was On A Plane Every Three Days.
