Who is your culinary inspiration?

My Lola is my greatest culinary inspiration. I grew up watching her cook with love, patience, and incredible skill, and every meal she made brought our family together. She taught me that the best food is made from the heart, and her influence continues to inspire the way I cook today.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I received $25,000, I would invest it in an education fund for my daughters. Providing them with opportunities to learn, grow, and pursue their dreams is one of my highest priorities. This investment would help create a strong foundation for their future while giving them the freedom to focus on their goals without the burden of overwhelming educational expenses.
