When Melisa got the idea to tape herself preparing some of her family's recipes, little did she know that soon people all across her state would be watching! Along with her brother as sous chef, dad as producer/director and mom on cleanup duty, the 14-year-old's popular "Oven Luv'n with Chef Melisa" airs weekly on the Massachusetts Public Access channel. "I never expected that it would become this popular," Melisa says. "If I can do this and make all these people happy, then that's just great!"
