Who or what inspires you to cook?

The way food brings people together regardless of religion, political views, or financial status is so beautiful to me and drives me to prepare and create for that unity.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

My favorite dish to make would have to be my hot garlic salmon over crispy, gnocchi and garlic aioli.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would definitely add to my husband and I's dreams of being self sufficient in the food realm. Adding a large garden, more animals, etc. We strive to become healthier for us and our children and making our own food is the number one factor in that.
