Who or what inspires you to cook?

My parents or my mom and family everyone was always cooking making good food. Its like cooking choose me and I choose it back all i have ever really done.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I love breakfast and its simple just girts, eggs, salmon cakes and Toast. I make my girts with butter and cream, ill have my eggs over medium or medium well, Toast is Toast but the salmon cakes caramelized peppers and onions died garlic and ginger in there let it cool. Chop up salmon until a paste add cooled veggies lil spicy and dejon mustard 1 egg lil sage or rosemary mix together make some patties, pan sear with avo oil or grapeseed good crust on both sides then done.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off some debts, I would put some money aside to save for a rain day. I would give my mom some money cause she always helps me out. I would put money aside for my children and pay my bills ahead to save more. Finally put money towards my business. I got hurt doing the president's cup in Canada last year just had surgery so i cant even work right now for 4 months hopefully, my mom came to help take care of me since i cant stand or really walk so the money would really be a blessing.
