Teaches at The Chopping Block Lincoln Square

Chef at The Chopping Block since: 2015

Favorite class to teach: Pasta Workshop

Training/education: I graduated from Kendall College in Evanston in 2003.

Cooking since: 1998: I had my first kitchen job when I was just 15 years old.

Favorite childhood food experience: Going to the market every August and picking up bushels of tomatoes and taking them to my Nonna’s house to make sauce from scratch and jarring it up for the whole family. Also, Sunday night dinners at her house were amazing.

What made you want to become a chef? I grew up watching all of the PBS cooking shows (back before there were Food Network and Cooking Channels) and loved learning about other types of food that my mom never made and that made me want to keep learning and cooking. But I really loved cooking with my mom, too!

What is your signature dish? Panko, Parmesan & herb breaded and fried Eggplant, stuffed with provolone, sauteed spinach and garlic and then rolled up, topped with marinara sauce and mozzarella and baked.
