Receive Text UpdatesI’m inspired by the community that surrounds culinary. There are so many people of different walks of life that can come together to share their love through cooking. It’s heartwarming to see how people in culinary lift each other by sharing family recipes, tips, and even ingredients from their culture. I’m also inspired to cook to help people who aren’t as knowledge or may have disabilities preventing them from being able to stand for long or use knives, etc.
What's your all time favorite dish to make?It’s hard to choose a favorite dish but I would have to say, any soup. I make broccoli cheddar soup the most because my family loves it, but soups are so humble and can be decorated beautifully.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would set some aside for future investments. But I would use some of that money to rent a kitchen and gain more experience plus having a stable income doing what I love.
