Who is your culinary inspiration?My grandmothers, mother and aunt inspired me thru shadowing them. Then learning the basic thru 4-H helped! Last year someone asked who my fav chef was- I said Carla Hall because of her energy. Thats when the contest showed up in my feed!
What would you do with the $25,000?This will take more time to answer. Participating last year led me to my passion of cooking and playing with kids to take a job at a children daycare/learning center despite the reduction in pay. I get to teach basic to a younger generation. !Reminded to dream big!
