Restaurant

If you find yourself in the Big Apple with a big appetite, this Italian joint is the place for you.

La Mela in NYC. It's one of the very first restaurants I was taken to when I first visited New York almost 20 years ago. I love the family atmosphere, and the food is amazing. Be really hungry if you eat there!

Cookbook

No one beats the Barefoot Contessa in the kitchen thanks to her attainable and amazing recipes.

Other than mine? I don't really have a favorite, but I do love books that promote simple cooking, like my own. I like the Barefoot Contessa books because the recipes feel like I can do them. I also am a big fan of local church cookbooks. You get some of the best recipes from them.
