Connect Who or what inspires you to cook?

It’s a combination of my grandmother’s cherished recipes, spending time with her in the kitchen, watching her create memories through her food, and the vibrant flavors of different cultures I’ve experienced while traveling. Each dish tells a story. I love the challenge of recreating those memories in my kitchen to share with my loved ones. One of my favorite moments is when I can gather friends and family around the table, each bite sparking conversations and laughter.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

My favorite dish to make is Rustic Chicken Melange. It is a delightful combination of crispy but juicy fried chicken seasoned to perfection with aromatic herbs, vibrant vegetables, and aromatic herbs. The flavors meld beautifully as the melange simmers, creating a comforting meal that always brings my family together around the table. The dish is not only a feast for the senses it's also a celebration of home-cooked goodness

What would you do with the $25,000?

3) My dream is to own a small restaurant or food truck. I would use that money as a starting investment to create a menu that reflects my culinary passions, perhaps focusing on comfort food with a twist. Additionally, I would look into affordable locations or events where I could launch my food truck and build a loyal customer base.
