Steamed chicken with orange, onions & broccoli - where I steam the chicken directly with oranges, allowing the citrus to naturally infuse every bite with bright bold flavor. Made completely from scratch, this dish is the heart of my portion revolution philosophy - proof that healthy food can be incredible food. Fresh ingredients, no shortcut, and a whole lot of love in every steam. That's my cooking style.
Who is your culinary inspiration?Chef Carla Hall inspires me because she honors the self -taught cook, the grandmother, the home kitchen where love lives. She went to culinary school, but what makes her extradinary is how she celebrates soul foods roots & nutritional wisdom. After 45 years in the kitchen, I'm still cooking & still learning- just like she is. Chef Carla proved a woman with passion, purpose, & a pot can change lives. That's exactly what I intend to do with Portion Revolution.
What would you do with the $25,000?The $25,000 would go directly into launching Portion Revolution - my healthy cookbook series. I would use it to self - publish, print, & distribute copies to doctors offices, hospitals, & community centers where people need health guidance most. This money would also fund my podcast & help me build the storefront I have been dreaming of for 5 years. This is not just a cookbook - it is a movement for communities that need it most.
