Who or what inspires you to cook?

Cooking is my love language! I love creating dishes for friends and family, pouring my heart into every meal. From vegan to American to Pakistani and more, each dish is a celebration of culture, connection, and the joy of sharing delicious food with the people I love.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

My mom’s cornbread dressing is my favorite dish to make. Every time I make it, I’m reminded of her and my childhood. She passed away 10 years ago, but the smell fills my kitchen just like it did in my childhood home. It’s more than a recipe—it’s a connection to her love, warmth, and the memories we shared. Cooking it brings me comfort and keeps her spirit alive, reminding me that food has the power to bring us back to the people and moments we cherish most.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay for culinary school and take a well-deserved vacation with my husband. Our only true vacation was overshadowed by my emergency surgery, leaving me temporarily in a wheelchair. I want to experience a trip where we can fully enjoy it together.
