Who is your culinary inspiration?I grew up watching Martha Stewart Living. Everyone who knows me knows how much I love Martha. I’m also inspired by Jacques Pépin and Julia Child.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use it to open a shop that offers everything one would need for the kitchen like cookware, spices, and wine. It would include a working kitchen where I would prepare Sunday supper for my loyal customers.
