Who is your culinary inspiration?I have so many inspirational people that I look towards for inspiration, yourself included. It’s hard to pick.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the 25,000 towards a new home. The apartment I live in with my son and partner, the kitchen of all places is the smallest room in the house! I need more space!
