It was here she came across people who were reluctant to cook and which later prompted her to come up with concept of "30 Minutes Meals" where she took classes for people teaching them how to make meals in less than thirty minutes.
This venture was a success and she was offered to appear on the newscasts by the WRGB, a local CBS TV affiliate.
This was followed up with appearance in radio.
