What is your signature dish?

Jambalaya

Who is your culinary inspiration?

Definitely my Mother and grandmother. Plus, classic chef’s such as Julia Child and Jacque Pepin. I would watch them on PBS when I was a child.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would definitely take a trip to the cooking school in the South of France that once belonged to Julia Child. I also need to visit cousins in Sicily. And boring stuff like pay off a credit card. Need some new clothes because I lost 112 lbs so far.
