I’ve been stirring pots and flipping through recipe books since I was old enough to reach the counter. My love for cooking started in my mom’s tiny Brooklyn kitchen, where I’d stand on a stool, pretending I was helping while she made her famous tomato sauce.

Whether it’s a quick weeknight dinner or a showstopping dessert, I’m all about dishes that bring people together—and maybe a few shortcuts that keep things from getting too complicated.
