I love the simplicity of food and how you can take nothing and make it into a great piece of artwork.

Who or what inspires you to cook?

My inspiration for cooking comes from art and traveling. Flying all over the world to see different people make all types of cuisine.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Thai curry snapper or red curry seafood stew.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Continue with my program vision to teach the youth culinary arts and vocational skills. I’d like to get the program into more schools and hopefully attain a brick and mortar establishment.
