Who is your culinary inspiration?

Honestly myself and my late husband, cooking was our "thing". We always loved to host dinner parties and did so almost every weekend.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000 there is a couple of things that I would consider doing. The first would be to put a down payment on a house so I can build the kitchen of my dreams. The second would be to buy a food truck and help my son achieve his dreams.
