My signature dish is fried chicken, preferably with lentils and rice. Trust me, you will love the vibrant yellow lentils and the crunch from a perfectly brined and breaded chicken thigh!
Who is your culinary inspiration?Although many women have inspired me, my Mom would be the most prominent. I didn't learn how to just cook from her, I learned the art of timing.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would donate half of it towards a non profit and the other half would be invested into traveling and learning new cuisines.
