Receive Text UpdatesI have to admit I have lost my signature dish since everyone has grown up. I am searching for my new one. I love to cook and just need to find my inspiration again. When my kids were young I was able to make what was left in the pantry for a meal since we were living paycheck to paycheck. My signature is to make something out of what was left.
Who is your culinary inspiration?Anybody and everybody on the Food Network. But I can’t help to admit Julia Childs was the one who inspired me.
What would you do with the $25,000?To relocate to Chicago so I can experience all the culture that it carries. I want to take many cooking classes and being close to family I would have people to cook for again.
