Who or what inspires you to cook?

My mom . I have 8 brother and ım youngest of my family . That's why I spent a lot of time with my mother and while my siblings were playing on the street, I started cooking with my mother .

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I think it's my mother's lentil soup. Because its not just soup for me .

What would you do with the $25,000?

I want my mother to see me as successful, that's all. If I win this award, I will prove myself and use it for 0 waste restaurants, which is my dream.
