Who is your culinary inspiration?

My mother and grandmother got me interested in being in the kitchen and my wife pushes me to continue making delightful food. I owe them for inspiring me enough to get on and stay on this wild culinary ride.

What would you do with the $25,000?

A long trip to Italy with my wife is top on the list.
