Not only do I love food, but I love that it connects people across so many divides that would not normally cross paths. Food is a unifier.

Who or what inspires you to cook?

People inspire me to cook. Good food has the power to take us to levels of comfort and memory that warms us through and through.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Probably my espresso and rosemary crusted lamb chops with a pomegranate reduction over parmesan roasted fingerling potatoes

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would love to get a business license and begin creating mobile cooking classes for inner city schools. I'd prepare a curriculum, teach the basics of healthy foods, pantry items, budgeting, and things like that for inner city kids, from elementary to high school. Children in the inner cities have such a disadvantage because some parents can't afford to offer their children diverse vegetables, so they get stuck in the same routines, some of which aren’t the healthiest.
