Not only is Tia Mowry one of my favorite childhood celebrities and a fashion icon, she's also an ace in the kitchen. In fact, her new show, Tia Mowry At Home, is set to premiere later this month on the Cooking Channel. I got a sneak peak at her culinary chops when I got to cook with her as part of Refinery29's #GimmeFive challenge.
