Who is your culinary inspiration?

My parents, I didn't grow up with much and but there was always something homemade in the stove, the dinner table was our place we're everything seemed to relax and fade momentarily.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would put a down payment on a house for my family. I recently was engaged to my fiance, and we have 4 kids in total and it would change our lives
