My biggest inspiration is my mom and my siblings. After losing my mom to suicide, cooking became my way to heal and stay connected to the people I love. My siblings especially inspire me—I love nourishing them and creating meals that bring comfort, joy, and togetherness. Cooking is more than food; it’s my way of honouring my mom’s memory and sharing love in every dish.
What's your all time favorite dish to make?My all-time favourite dish to make is chicken pot pie. It’s warm, comforting, and made with love—just like the meals I grew up with. Every time I make it, I think of my family, and how food brings us together. There’s nothing better than a flaky, golden crust and a creamy, cozy filling shared with the people I love!
What would you do with the $25,000?If I won $25,000, I’d invest in sharing my love for cooking with more people—whether through pop-ups, a small catering venture, or creating content to inspire home cooks. Cooking has been my healing journey, and I want to bring that same comfort and joy to others. I’d also honour my mom’s memory by using food to connect, nourish, and create special moments for those I love.
