In fact, she is an award-winning chef with <a href=\"http:\/\/chickyskitchen.com\">her own website<\/a>, who is slicing through the competition in the Favorite Chef contest, presented by author, TV personality and chef Carla Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fiocchi has collected praise in the past as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyherald.com\/article\/20160601\/ENTLIFE\/160609951\">Cook of the Week<\/a> in the Daily Herald newspaper\u2019s Chopped competition. She also won the SpartanNash Souper Competition in Grand Rapids in 2018, providing a $2,500 prize, an additional $2,500 for the South Michigan Food Bank in Battle Creek, and a chance to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wzzm13.com\/article\/entertainment\/television\/programs\/the-exchange\/a-winner-has-been-crowned-in-spartannash-soup-recipe-competition\/69-524909305\">make her dish on TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet Favorite Chef provides bigger fish to fry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By reaching the competition\u2019s quarterfinals, Fiocchi\u2019s already in the top 1% of the thousands of nationwide entrants. Plus, with your vote before 10 p.m. Eastern time Thursday, she might keep alive her hope for the whole enchilada: a $25,000 grand prize, a two-page spread in Taste of Home Magazine, and a chance to cook in person with Hall, a chef known in part for her appearances on <em>Top Chef<\/em> and co-hosting <em>The Chew<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cFood is my love language and feeding people brings me joy,\u201d she said. \u201cPeople express how they feel about each other differently, but I always say that if I like you, I cook for you. Food should bring people together; whether it\u2019s surrounded by family at the kitchen table, standing at the counter drinking wine and talking about what\u2019s for dinner, or cookies in the breakroom at K\u2014the ultimate goal is finding common ground and time to be together. I think food does that. Food is how I express that I&#8217;ve taken the time to think through what would bring you joy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fiocchi loves collecting hundreds of cookbooks and trying new recipes, but family recipes are always favorites. The chef added that she has many happy memories of cooking, especially with family. \u201cMaking mom\u2019s potato salad, or Nonni\u2019s tortellini is my way of honoring their lives and the food memories we\u2019ve inherited from them.\u201d She\u2019s the proud owner of a vintage Pillsbury cookbook from 1913; as well as a signed copy of Sister Pie by K alumna Lisa Ludwinski \u201906. Yet if she doesn\u2019t love a cookbook, she doesn\u2019t keep it because she knows someone else will fall in love with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps that love could be passed to a K colleague, the folks who make working at the College enjoyable for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI love everything <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/about\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/about\/\">about K<\/a>,\u201d she said. \u201cI love the institution, but the people are really what makes K so special. We moved to Michigan in 2017 after 50 years in the Chicagoland area and I found my extended family at K in 2018 when I started working in the Admission office. I\u2019m grateful to work with people who are my friends in and out of the office, and that they are all so willing to be my taste testers.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/08\/Favorite-Chef-Contestant-Teresa-Fiocchi-600x800.jpg\" alt=\"Favorite Chef Contestant Teresa Fiocchi Cooking in Her Kitchen\" class=\"wp-image-20396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/08\/Favorite-Chef-Contestant-Teresa-Fiocchi-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/08\/Favorite-Chef-Contestant-Teresa-Fiocchi-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/08\/Favorite-Chef-Contestant-Teresa-Fiocchi-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/08\/Favorite-Chef-Contestant-Teresa-Fiocchi-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/08\/Favorite-Chef-Contestant-Teresa-Fiocchi-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/08\/Favorite-Chef-Contestant-Teresa-Fiocchi-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Office of Admission Operations Manager Teresa Fiocchi has reached the quarterfinals of the Favorite Chef competition.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Vote for K&#8217;s Favorite Chef<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">To support Teresa Fiocchi in the Favorite Chef contest, visit her quarterfinalist page and click \u201cFree Daily Vote.\u201d Voters may choose \u201cVerify with Facebook\u201d or \u201cVerify by Card.\u201d Voters who select \u201cVerify by Card\u201d are charged $1 that is immediately refunded.
