Who or what inspires you to cook?

Everyone honestly! I want to make sure there are always full bellies.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

My chicken and dumplings. Everyone requests that dish and it always satisfies. The biggest compliment I ever got was my Granny saying it was the best she had ever had.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With the prize money I would like to find a home. I am currently displaced and this would help me get a fresh start. I would also like to find a way to start up a catering business.
