Who or what inspires you to cook?

As mentioned. I love cooking, feeding and finding constructional critiques to better my meals

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Ceviche Estofado (stew) Tamales / bollos is the only way I can describe Just something I can throw together . Whatever is left in the fridge ..

Grow something for my future. If my food is good and people I serve it too likes it . That’s all that matters to me. I am not a gourmet chef . I love home cooking … ☺️
