Who or what inspires you to cook?

My family and friends inspire me to cook. For me, cooking delicious food is an expression of love, a way to share joy and create lasting memories with the people I care about.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

My favorite dish to make is a simple, ceviche-inspired shrimp and chorizo quesadilla. It’s packed with flavor and melts in your mouth like a dream.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I were awarded the $25,000 prize, I would use it to expand my culinary skills, invest in high-quality ingredients, and create a pop-up dining experience to share my passion for cooking with others. It would also help support local farmers and food producers, enhancing the overall dining experience.
