What is your signature dish?

My signature dish would be any type of baked goods - I love making homemade pies, cakes, cookies, etc. When I’m baking it reminds me so much of my grandmother who made the best cinnamon rolls.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

There are so many to pick from but I love Julia Child. I’ve been working my way through her cookbook, The Art of French Cooking. Love Carla Hall, Bobby Flay, Ina Garten.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d love to get my cottage kitchen license and start a small home business selling my baked goods.
