More from Harry: “The holidays are a whirlwind, and everyone’s looking for little ways to simplify meals.”
E!: What was your reaction when you discovered your famous sauce became part of some Real Housewives drama, and how has your perspective shifted over the years, especially since it introduced the pasta sauce to so many fans?
HH: Honestly? It was baloney! I never expected the drama, but the Real Housewives brought a lot of attention to something my family has cherished for decades. So, I have nothing but gratitude.
The real magic came when my niece Renee [Guilbault]—who’s a true heavyweight in the food and beverage world—took that buzz and helped me turn it into something with real impact. Together, we built The Open Food Company, focusing on good food, transparency, and giving back.
With Renee’s leadership, we’re proud to be the first open-source food company, where you know exactly what’s in your food—and we’ve built a charitable mission into the heart of it. From TV drama to “doing right”? I’m incredibly grateful for the journey.

E!: Are there any kitchen essentials or cooking tools under $30 that you would recommend as must-haves for holiday gifting?
HH: Absolutely! A mortar and pestle and a microplane for fine grating like for zesting or very fine grated cheese are my go-to tools. Whether you’re making sauce or zesting citrus, they elevate simple ingredients. Every home cook should have these in their kitchen arsenal.
