Who is your culinary inspiration?My culinary inspiration comes from my youth and desire to never have eat nasty food. Also, I've always wanted to be able to prepare and eat the dishes I've seen on TV.
What would you do with the $25,000?First, I would honor my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by tithing 10%, I would celebrate by taking my husband and 5 children on a vacation, and then I would invest the remaining funds towards opening my own commisary kitchen or food truck.
