More Than a
Culinary Student
My name is Marisa and I am a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America who is obsessed with cooking and food.
My other passion is Judaism, which is why I am studying to become a Rabbi through Hebrew Union College.
​
My journey with food started by watching the Food Network and cooking Mother's Day Dinner when I was in fifth grade.
​
My journey with Judaism began by asking questions about the creation of the world.
​
After spending some time reading, I guarantee that you will want to see how I combine these two life long passions!

"Food brings people together on many different levels. It's nourishment of the soul and body; it's truly love."

“You can't just eat good food. You've got to talk about it too. And you've got to talk about it to somebody who understands that kind of food.”
