Who is your culinary inspiration?My dad, my dad was murdered when I was 9 years old. And most of my memories of him were watching movies together, and watching him bake. He could bake and that’s what taught me how to bake. So now, I bake with my daughter so she could have those same memories.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would start my own pastry business, in honor of my dad.
