With Cacciatore’s love for food, nutrition and edu-tainment, Cacciatore began building out the brand to create a television series and interactive product lines that expanded beyond Bella Wishes and Pink Lotus. CarLou now includes Kitchen Cacciatore (based on her family name and Tess’s Italian heritage). The first brand under the Food/Health category is “Families on the Go with Bella & Bo” – to expand into the family living and healthy lifestyle categories. To widen the experience of what Tess has done in the span of 20+ years, in the catering side to her life, where she was hired to create recipe lessons, interactive workshops, assistant to Food Stylist Stephen Shern (Food & Wine, Gourmet, Bon Appetit) as well as Tess also catered parties, anniversaries, baby and wedding showers, milestone events and more. This area in her life was integrated into the Bella Wishes brand back in 2010 with workshops and cooking lessons around Los Angeles.
