When I'm Home, The Heart And Soul

I Launched Chefs For Humanity, A National Nonprofit, With My Voice, Heart And Money From My Own Pocket. Money Gives You The Ability To Make A Difference In The World And, When Used In A Positive Way, Is A Lot Of Fun.

When I Was Growing Up In Mississippi - It Was Good Southern Food... But I Also Grew Up With A Greek Family; When Other Kids Were Eating Fried Okra, We Were Eating Steamed Artichokes. So I Think It Played A Big Part In My Healthy Cooking.

My Humanitarian Work Evolved From Being With My Family. My Mom, My Dad, They Really Set A Great Example For Giving Back. My Mom Was A Nurse, My Dad Was A School Teacher. But My Mom Did A Lot Of Things For Geriatrics And Elderly People. She Would Do Home Visits For Free.

My Mom Always Cooked Healthy. Greek Food Lends Itself To Cooking Healthy.

To Me, Money Is The Ability To Create Lifelong Experiences For My Family And Myself, To Educate My Children And A Way To Give Back To Humanity.
