We’ve had a great time this week with New York chef, restaurateur, and cookbook author, Donatella Arpaia. Donatella, widely known for her reoccurring role as judge on Food Network’s “Iron Chef America” and “The Next Iron Chef,” took over the “Cooking Today” host seat, offering us a peek into her world as a culinary professional, wife and mother.
