Who or what inspires you to cook?

I’ve loved to cook since I was little. My aunts & grandma were the ones who let be work beside them in the kitchen from a young age. As I got older I took when they taught me & made it into my own. Now, I do the same with my daughter. She is now my greatest inspiration & motivation for everything I do.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I love making traditional Ecuadorian food… There’s something so beautiful about connecting with your roots through food.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Find a little spot & open my business. Turn my vision of VIVA Foods into a reality.
