For Colombe, cooking/eating/sharing delicious, feel good meals is one of life's greatest pleasures. Maybe it all started at the age of seven, when her mother gave her a vintage kid's oven that actually plugged into the wall. You may recognize her from season 3 of the Next Food Network Star where she is best remembered for her creative approach to healthy meals. She likes to frequent local markets and loves traveling which gives her tremendous inspiration in the kitchen.

Your most treasured kitchen possession:
There are so many! My Le Creuset Dutch Oven is definitely one of them. I'm not one for gadgetry, but I love the handheld citrus press my mom got for me in Oaxaca.
