I Started Doing Makeup To Make A

I Live In Italy Part Time, And They're Obsessed With What's Happening In La Too. They Make Fun Of Americans, But The World Wants To Know What's Going On In Hollywood.

When Entertaining, It's Great To Wow Your Guests With An Outstanding Recipe, But It's Also Very Important To Design A Menu That's Not Too Demanding Of Yourself, Otherwise Everybody Will Have Fun But You. A Great Appetizer Or Simpler Dish Is A Good Way To Work A Menu That's Delicious But Does Not Impose Too Much Effort Or Time Spent In The Kitchen.

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.

I Grew Up On Food Stamps. I Come From A Very Humble Background. And I've Had Many Friends That Have Been Destitute - You Know, Running Into Trouble - And Places Like The Midnight Mission Have Given Them Hope And Have Fed Them And Gotten Them Back On The Right Path.

As A Matter Of Fact, I've Been To Italy Many Times Before I Met My Husband, Which He Can't Even Imagine That I Could Possibly Know Anything About Italian Food. But, You Know, Italian Food's Really Basic, And There's So Many Different Variations On It That What My Husband Did Is He Broke It Down For Me.
