Television Feasts

From Julia to Giada, I am a bi-product of the quirky world of anything food television.  At age 10 I wanted to lunch with Julia; at 12 I thought sitting at Graham Kerr's table would be bliss; in college I was a diligent voyeur student of Jeff Smith's; and as a newlywed I envisioned myself being Martha. Then the sky opened up and violin music played in the background when I discovered an entire family of food shows on the blossoming food network. Twenty years later I am still a home chef with a backyard garden, yet in my head I am a trained chef who has eaten her way around the world, tasted all things exotic, competed in many challenges, judged the best of the best, and have a circle of friends which includes Emeril, Bobby, Rachel and more.  I like to learn and challenge myself simply for the pleasure of all things food.  I am a student of the university of Food Network and my textbooks, exams and extra curricular activities all stem from channel 39.
