Who is your culinary inspiration?

Michael Symon, Chef Carla Hall and Chef Damaris are my 3 favorite inspirations. They cook with joy of food, knowledge, a food and most importantly, it's food for everyday people.And it's healthy for you.It shows you that you can make these meals at home.And that's what I love the most about them.Their passion about good food and being who they are.And how food has helped them.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would love to be able to start my own cottage business to cook out of my home.And maybe even to do private dinner parties.
