My signature dish is one I make almost weekly - especially in the winter. It's a healthy take on chicken noodle soup, using my homemade bone broth as the base. The fresh herbs and pop of spice bring it all together nicely! It's a family favorite, full of flavor, and provides that cozy nourishment you crave with a soup.
Who is your culinary inspiration?My culinary inspiration is HalfBakedHarvest. It was her food and recipes that gave me the experience and the confidence to start trying my own things. Being at the point now where I can create my own recipes brings me so much joy!
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the money to further my culinary knowledge and skills, through classes and books. I would also use the money to buy ingredients and equipment to continue creating healthy recipes that I can share with everyone.
