What would you do with the $25,000?If I won the $25,000, I would use it to grow my food business and create more opportunities to share my passion for cooking with the community. A portion would go toward upgrading equipment, improving content creation, and hosting more affordable cooking classes and events for families and beginners who want to learn simple, flavorful meals. I’d also invest in building a stronger online presence so I can reach more people through recipes, videos, and workshops.
