Celebrity Chef #15 and This one’s in a Bathing Suit!

Hi everyone and welcome to Celebrity Home Chef #15 in our January series here on TBK. Wow, this one is hot! Not only is she a mother of three who blogs, writes articles on parenting, dances hip hop and is finishing a book on the Holocaust, but she still finds the time to cook this hot meal for her family and strut around Caribbean beaches in a swimsuit, looking quite glamorous (what do you expect from a Miami native?).

Enjoy Deb Levy’s Coconut Chicken With Caribbean Salsa and keep sending in those recipes!
