Who or what inspires you to cook?

Ever since I moved to this country, I've developed a love for food. Back home, I would watch my grandmother cook for a sugar cane farm, and I often helped her with cooking and serving. I didn't realize then that those experiences would inspire me to become a chef. Ingredients themselves are also a profound source of inspiration for me.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I love fish and pasta I can make anything with those to ingredients

What would you do with the $25,000?
