Originally starring in the series "Basic Skills Challenge", Epicurious noted that Gabrielle's skills were pretty polished. She was asked to be featured on "4 Levels" as a "Level 2 Chef" - aka, a pretty good home cook. She developed and tested recipes for the show, trying to strike a balance between original and approachable. Now that she has a culinary degree and restaurant experience under her belt, it's only a matter of time before she becomes a Level 3!
