Who or what inspires you to cook?

Women, because I'm single and love cooking for them and my family. Food brings people together, and I enjoy making every meal an experience.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I’m still exploring, but something Thai, possibly a pastry. I love the balance of bold flavors, spice, and delicate technique in Thai cuisine.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Invest in an oven, tools, and streaming equipment to share my baking journey. Cover rent, ingredients, branding, and shipping for fresh bread and DIY kits. Build a community, teach baking, and grow a small business from passion to reality!
