Who or what inspires you to cook?

My mom, a single mother, inspired me to become a cook through her dedication to providing for our family, always ensuring we had home-cooked meals. Watching her transform simple ingredients into comforting dishes taught me the power of food to bring love and healing. Her strength and creativity in the kitchen sparked my own passion for cooking, and I continue to honor her legacy with every meal I make.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Chicken Parmesan!

What would you do with the $25,000?
