Who is your culinary inspiration?My mother is my greatest culinary inspiration. Her love, patience, and passion for cooking taught me that food is more than just taste — it is emotion, comfort, and connection. I am also deeply inspired by Chef Richard Jackson from England, whose remarkable precision, discipline, and dedication to perfection at the age of 70 remain truly admirable.
What would you do with the $25,000?$25000 is a big amount, it will add up to start a high end brand which is in my mind.
