Who or what inspires you to cook?

Honestly, my favorite people are the ones who fill my kitchen with laughter – my husband, my family, my dearest friends, and even the unexpected guests who pop by. We've got a 'come as you are' policy, and it's the best! For me, cooking is pure joy. It's how I speak from the heart, how I find my peace, and how I let my creative spirit run wild. It's like telling stories with every dish.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Oh, it's hard to pick just one! But if I had to, I'd share my favorite: a big bowl of fresh, homemade pasta, nestled in a sun-kissed cherry tomato sauce – you know, the one with white wine, shallots, and garlic that fills the kitchen with such a lovely aroma. Then, we add tender steamed clams, sweet shrimp, and slices of my special apple chicken sausage. It's just...comforting, you know?

What would you do with the $25,000?

After a long and stressful career as a CIA operative, and not having the time or money to take a real honeymoon, my husband and I could take a proper honeymoon! Turns out, even spies need a honeymoon!
