For me, I will cook chicken "bendi" (okra, potato, onion, tomato sauce stir fry); oxtail/goat/beef tripe/ rice and peas with rice and a salad.
Who is your culinary inspiration?Carla--from Top Chef to present. It made me happy to see more curly-haired in this world who provided us with a positive vibe. And, naturally talented in her love for cooking.
What would you do with the $25,000?Update my kitchen, and include something I have always wanted: a "giant" mixer (a red one). I will try to learn how to bake from scratch 😁 instead of accepting compliments from my kiddos on behalf of Betty Crocker.
