Who or what inspires you to cook?

My love for cooking comes from my grandmother, a pastry chef who made amazing pound cakes, pies, and caramel cakes, and my dad, who was fearless in the kitchen, creating delicious meals with unique flavors. He always told me, “If you have kids, always make them cookies,” and now I understand why—food brings joy. I love seeing the smiles on people’s faces when they taste my food. Their happiness fuels my passion and inspires me to keep creating!

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I have so many, probably my favorite is a chocolate cake.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Turn my kitchen into my DREAM kitchen
