Who is your culinary inspiration?My grandmother and mother! They both taught me to make recipes my own, canning local and fresh vegetables! Making the most of what you have!
What would you do with the $25,000?I would pay off bills first than use money for my students! I teach in a low income school so a lot of my students are not able to be exposed to different culinary experiences!
