Who or what inspires you to cook?

My mother

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I love cooking Asian cuisines especially Filipino. My all time favorite dish to cook is called "Sisig". Everyone who cooks it has their own version, and so do I. It is a crispy pork stir-fry dish with onions, bell peppers, chili peppers, and my version with cilantro

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would put it into my catering business as we have been wanting to start a Filipino frozen food line.
