Who or what inspires you to cook?

It all started with my Abuelita (Grandmother) growing up, watching her create simple yet delicious meals for our whole family, stayed with me all my life. I have always had a love for food, now as an adult, not only do I love to eat, but I love and have developed a passion for cooking. The satisfaction I get when someone enjoys a dish I created is one of the most fulfilling emotions and inspires me to keep cooking.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

So many to choose from - I love making my Boursin Cheese Pasta with Shrimp or Chicken.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Being the winner and presented with $25,000 to start my dream! I would purchase a food truck and invest in top quality cookware, stainless steel knives, wooden cutting boards, top appliances, get my permits and licenses, invest in sign's & menu board, lastly buy quality food products to create memorable dishes to keep them coming back for more!
