This week:

Carla Hall won over audiences when she competed on Bravo’s “Top Chef” and “Top Chef: All Stars” and shared her philosophy to always cook with love. Born in Nashville, TN, Carla grew up surrounded by soul food. Her path to food celebrity took a winding road. She graduated from Howard University's Business School and worked as an accountant for two years. Followed by a stint overseas where she modeled and discovered her desire to cook. Once home she trained as a chef and worked in several professional restaurant kitchens in and around the Washington, D.C. area and ran her own catering company. After appearances on Top Chef Carla spent 7 years co-hosting ABC’s Emmy award winning series “The Chew”, and is currently featured on the Food Network in shows such as “Thanksgiving, Holiday and Halloween Baking Championships” (judge), and “Worst Cooks in America”. Her latest cookbook, Carla Hall’s Soul Food: Everyday and Celebration, was published in 2018, landing on annual "Best Cookbook" lists across the country and receiving an NAACP Image Awards nomination. Carla recently launched her QVC line called, Sweet Heritage. 

This is one of my favorite quotes from this week’s episode:
