Who or what inspires you to cook?

The joy of bringing people together to enjoy a memorable occasion through food. I’m inspired by the happiness that good food can create.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Growing up as a Filipino-American I enjoy making traditional dishes because it’s soulful, flavorful and full of love. Because to me all the dishes have a balance of comfort and creativity.

I would help my family in planning for our future.
