What is your signature dish?

I make a cottage pie with that my family and friends rave about! Ground beef, corn, mashed potatoes, cheese and a nice gravy make this simply meal easy but delicious.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

Christine Ha. The woman won Seqson 3 of Master Chef with limited vision, proving that even though most of society eats with their eyes first, it’s not a sense that needs to be relied upon to cook great food.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would take a trip with my family to Italy and eat my weight in pasta.
