Who or what inspires you to cook?

My inspiration Growing up in Venezuela, my grandmother’s mornings were always filled with the smell of her cooking for the family. She had a remarkable ability to turn the simplest ingredients into something extraordinary, and I would always help her in the kitchen. It was during these moments that my interest in cooking grew. Her passion and skill inspired me, and through those shared experiences, I learned not just about food, but about the joy and love that goes making the dish
