Who or what inspires you to cook?

I'm an advocate or healthy joyful cooking because relatives experienced health concerns. Love to decorate my plates, inspire notes in a dish, love to compete in few contests! Healthy meets delicious; no need to sacrifice taste. The key is to have community, your tribe to cook together, try new ingredients from farm to table, put on your favorite music & bring along the people you love to eat with! Food is life& brings community together. Community is restoration. Healing happens in commu

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Korean Beef Bulgogi-Why? The marinade on the beef is spot on delicious, so many vegetables (raw and cooked) and top it off a sunny side up egg! Bring the rice and noodles. It's complete and I could eat it anytime of the day! Hands-down the best!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I'm hoping to start a variety of dishes and engaging in interactive live cooking sessions at home and zoom calls or social media. OR an interactive cafe/bakery and sell art on the walls from local artists, partner with local suppliers that provide sustainable food. Host karaoke, bible study or even poetry nights. Building a thriving community online! One day to have certain days to feed the homeless and single families in the nearby neighborhood.
