My family, friends, and especially husband inspire me to cook, because feeding people is my favourite thing to do. I love having a built-in taste tester who supports any new recipe I attempt and inevitably throw his way. I’m also inspired by my Great Aunt Shirley who is the Queen of dinner parties. I aspire to be like her, chatting and entertaining while whipping up delicious meals.
What's your all time favorite dish to make?A rigatoni pasta with vodka sauce, topped with my special cast-iron chicken with a sweet and spicy rub.
What would you do with the $25,000?As someone with no culinary training but plenty of passion, I would love to have the opportunity to enrol in a culinary arts program or take proper cooking lessons. Being from a small island, opportunities are limited, but this money would allow me to continue to broaden my horizons and further my learning journey.
