About Me

Mary Palumbo Collings: San Diego, CA, United States; I am an Italian girl living in America. I was born in Mola Di Bari, Italy. My parents, 3 siblings and I came to America when I was very young. My father was a chef and opened a restaurant in 1964. I worked in the restaurant for 30 years and grew to have the same passion for cooking as my father had. Now I am married to a wonderful man, and we have 1 beautiful daughter. In addition to food and everything to do with cooking, I love decorating and gardening. I look for inspiration around me and to be inspired by something beautiful and make it my own makes me happy.
