Who or what inspires you to cook?

The memories of me in the kitchen with my Great-Grandma and Grandma being taught hands-on as a child. Also, cooking has become a form of mental health therapy over the years especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I have many favorites, especially from my childhood, but if I must choose one it would be my Baked Salmon with my Homemade Ginger Soy Teriyaki Glaze served over Rosemary Rice.

What would you do with the $25,000?

We have a major hunger and food shortage crisis in our country. This blessing would allow me to start my nonprofit organization and open hot food kitchens to serve the impoverished communities.
