Who or what inspires you to cook?

It's super cliche, but my family. They get such joy in eating good food, and the organic time that we get to spend together over lovingly cooked meals/snacks is invaluable.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Hmmm probably beef stew + yeast rolls. It has soooo many steps, but when done correctly, the flavor is unreal. It's such a simple meal, but has such complex flavor, and nothing beats it on a cold night!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would give it to the Giving Kitchen our friends started here in Atlanta. They provide emergency assistance for food service workers through financial support and a network of community resources. I'm fortunate enough to cook for joy, but they are doing it to also support themselves + their families, and I can't imagine what it would be like to have that taken away. I love that the organization helps them through that tumultuous time.
