Tamara Morris

I should be the favorite chef because my desire to cook started when I was young. I was groomed by my grandmother to prepare food with love.

Who or what inspires you to cook?

I personally inspire myself to cook because it gives me a chance to be creative, and more importantly a chance to put a smile on others faces. I am also inspired by my grandmother who started me cooking as soon I as was tall enough to reach the kitchen table. Cooking was something me and my grandmother loved to do together. I'm inspired by many of my grandmother's homemade dishes. I like to switch things up a bit when preparing old favorites to give them a bolder taste

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

It's very hard for me to pick one dishes as my all time favorite to make. I enjoy making all kinds of dishes and all kinds of cuisines, but, if I have to pick I will go with my collard greens and green cabbage mixed with smoked turkey meat.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest in my businesses Cerenyte Friend Pies & Fillings and M&C Farmer Market. I would use the money to purchase bar codes, company labels, packaging, cook ware, garden materials, I would also take myself on a mini excursion around the country to taste different foods and cuisines. I would also have a cookout for my neighbors.
