I’ll let the video speak for itself, but I couldn’t agree more with Jennie’s thoughts on fear in the kitchen. By the way, Jennifer has recently published her first cookbook, Homemade with Love, and it’s getting rave reviews. I’ve not read it yet, but will be doing so very soon. If you’re interested in taking a look, you can check it out here. Special thanks to Liza for letting us share her work, and also to Jennie for being a continuing source of inspiration. I hope you enjoy this, and find it as moving as I did.

Thank you for sharing!
What a wonderful woman. I could spend hours hearing someone like this, hearing what they have to say, reading what they have to write. Great storyteller.
Hi Chef,
Jenny does indeed make a valid point that one must "check their fear at the kitchen door" and not be fearful of whatever one might be cooking up.
I'll also have you know that ever since I've been watching your recipe videos, that I for one am now fearless while in the kitchen.
That is unless of course my finicky lady-friend happens to be hovering nearby critiquing every move I make while sipping her usual glass of Chardonnay and extolling the virtues of sum' feller' by the name of Jack Pippand whoever he might be.
'Cause in my book, you be da' man!
lol, thanks!
I knew before you posted this you would be a fan of Jennie Perillo. Both of you have a love and respect for food & cooking that is at the very core of your being. Glad I get to read and experience both of you in my own quest to nourish my loved ones & self in my own quirky but totally vital cooking journey.
Thanks so much for sharing this inspiring young woman. She has touched my heart strings and brought forth the real reasons to be in the kitchen. For love. Love of others, Love of creating and Love of food.
Thanks so very much. I am so looking forward to reading her new cookbook cover to cover and over and over again. God bless you all.
Great story, well-produced. Thanks for sharing, Chef John!
Love it Chef! Thank you for sharing such inspiring work. Big Hug. E
