Who or what inspires you to cook?

My angel grandma-memaw Evelyn my Italian grandmother made the most delicious food. She’d host big family dinners and fill your plate up mutiple times mountain high untill you’d enter a food comma. She spoiled me with food and before she past she told me to follow my heart. Now that she’s gone I often put on some of her favorite music and make something she’d make for me and it’s like she’s with me in those moments. And when I taste the food I feel comfort lik

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

My family’s secret sauce and Italian meat balls. Mainly anything Italian however I love to cook Asian cuisine especially Korean and good home food like a soul warming soup. Or the prefect breakfest to start the day off with a happy tummy.

What would you do with the $25,000?

After I lost my grandma my dad also got cancer. I accumulate some debt taking care of my family at a young age. I’d pay some of this down and with the rest I would love to start something of my own. Maybe culinary school or because I already work as a cook I would invest in a food truck.
