Who or what inspires you to cook?

My Grandmother has always been my inspiration. She cooked from her heart. My earliest memories are with her in the kitchen. Cooking and baking for family and friends is a sign of true love.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I enjoy making Jambalaya. The dish is a balance of colorful vegetables, spicy meats, and fresh shrimp. Followed by a cool and creamy cheesecake is always a treat.

What would you do with the $25,000?

When I win the $25,000 I would travel and continue learning about other food and cultures.
