Connect Who or what inspires you to cook?

What inspired me? Food was always a big part of my life, but as I got older, I realized a lot of what I grew up eating didn’t make me feel my best. Changing my diet wasn’t easy, but I found a way to keep the flavors and memories I love without the consequences. Becoming a parent made it all click. I wanted my child to eat better, know better, and take care of herself. I took what I grew up on, flipped it, and made it better.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Spaghetti and meat sauce, no question. It never misses. My sauce is thick, rich, and seasoned to perfection,none of that bland, watery mess. Cooking it feels like making music, layering flavors like a perfect track. The whole kitchen smells like love, and by the time it’s done, folks are already lining up for seconds. If I’m making spaghetti, just know it’s about to be a good day.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25K, I’d build a community that supports indie artists through food, exclusively for them and their true supporters. The funding will expand my menu, refine recipes, and grow The Conductor’s Table, a group of taste testers. Harmonic Cookery is about fueling the commitment and creating a space where indie artists feel valued and supported. This $25K would help turn my vision into a reality and reinvest in myself to make it happen, one dish at a time.
