What is your signature dish?

I specialize in food allergies and turning all your favorite dishes into plant based culinary experiences . I would say my signature items would be my line of dressings, my homemade spaghetti sauce and my plant based Mac and cheese.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

My Aunt Cell was my inspiration she was the best cook and taught me everything I know. I use to sit on the kitchen counter on Sunday afternoons and watch her cook while she would teach me as she went…… the best memories are cooking with her

What would you do with the $25,000?

I want to open a kitchen to do my catering and make all my home made items like remineralizing toothpaste, laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, homemade plant based dressings and hand made soaps
