How could I not be inspired by my 6-year old, who's always ready to indulge into new flavors and food? Cooking for him and my family is where the magic happens!
What's your all time favorite dish to make?My all time favorite dish to make is oxtail. Being from the Caribbean, I love cooking oxtail, because it's so full of flavor, it transports people straight to the islands. It's definitely all about bringing that homey, comforting taste to life!
What would you do with the $25,000?I'd put it towards a new home for my family and start my culinary cookbook to share my passion. It's about investing in family and flavor!
