Who or what inspires you to cook?

My passion since I was a child, always curious to know how beautiful the cakes looked and my mother made them, I accompanied her to her classes and there that passion to create and learn was awakened.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

As for savory food, I feel that I love the production of the Venezuelan hallaca since I have in my roots the desire to do it with love and delight my friends and family while maintaining my culture.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Fulfill the dream of being able to start my own business and please my clients with food and dessert services in the healthy and traditional versions they require.
