With Sara Moulton at Houston's Sur la Table

It was a very emotional meeting for me, since she is one of the three people who inspired me to attend cooking school. I told her that even today I continue to look up to her as a role model because of all the success she has had while balancing her personal life. Not only was she kind enough to sign two books for me, but she also posed for this picture and spent a few minutes to ask me about my business and my personal life. She also asked if she could keep one of my flyers, which I gladly gave her, and then wished me luck! I was so thrilled to know that she truly is as nice and professional as she appears on T.V. You can check her out on the Food Network or on Good Morning America!
