Who is your culinary inspiration?That would have to be my great grandmother. She immigrated here, from Sicily, in the 1940's and was one heck of a cook! I have pictures of me at about 2 years old cooking with her. Unfortunately she passed away when I was young but I carry on her legacy through food.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would buy a vehicle first, mine gave out about a year ago and Ive not had the money to get a new one. After that, i would pay the taxes and use whatever was left to buy things to make my life in the kitchen easier.
