Who or what inspires you to cook?

I get inspired about cooking when I was a child, I use to help my mom to make tortillas when I was 9 years old and I started cooking, I use to make eggs with ham , I was 15 years old when I move to New York, I found out I had a cousin chef from my father side and Uncle chef from my mother side, so I realize my cooking passion was on my blood, but it was not easy I started as a dishwasher,learning and start from the battom and I’m happy to said I’m started as a dishwasher.
