Who or what inspires you to cook?

"My mom and grandma are my biggest inspirations - they're amazing cooks! I started cooking at a really young age and fell in love with it. I began with simple sauces and pickling, but soon became a paella expert, thanks to my Spanish grandmother. As a Mexican, I love blending flavors and cooking seafood - it's my favorite!"

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

"I love making paella, fideua, seafood, Mexican food, and I'm also a big fan of Italian cuisine. My vegetable lasagna is delicious! I think I'm not tied to just one dish, I enjoy preparing a wide variety of foods." My friends love my shrimp and fish ceviche, and my tuna tiradito is always a hit!

What would you do with the $25,000?

Winning the award would be a dream come true! I'd use the prize to make my passion project a reality, and it would make me incredibly happy.
