Who or what inspires you to cook?

Honestly, it’s been part of my life since I was young. I think the initial spark came from my mother. But what I love the most is creating something delicious and sharing it with others.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

My all time favorite dish to make is Homemade Banana Pudding Cream Pie with Homemade Banana Pudding Cream Cookies.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest in a small garden, greenhouse, and a spring well. Then I would use that to grow my own herbs, vegetables, and fruits. The rest of the money would be for branding my creations on social media.
