Who is your culinary inspiration?

My culinary inspiration was my aunt Betty. She would cook fabulous dishes and bake amazing desserts. She also taught me to sew. She was a remarkable person.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would love to do a bakery start up out of a cottage kitchen in my home. People say I missed my calling when I cook and cake for them.
