Who or what inspires you to cook?

My grandfather inspired me to cook for everyone. As a kid I was always in awe when he cooked up meals to feed at least 50 family members every weekend. I always noticed how relaxed and calm he was doing it. As I got older my mother was forced to work so I gave cooking a shot. Never looked back. It became therapeutic and brought calmness and peace. As I am older now I always invite the family over to hang out and eat. Best way to bring the family together!

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

My favorite dish to make is absolutely sopa de tortilla the way it was really made by the Aztec Indian. The richness and explosion of flavors bring memories of my grandfathers cooking.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With the $25,000 I would absolutely pay off my debt and the remaining money would be put in to my children’s college fund.
