Who is your culinary inspiration?My grandpa was a great cook!!
What would you do with the $25,000?I lost my youngest daughter a few years ago in a car accident and I have her two small children. They live with my son and daughter in law so they can all go to school together with my other grandchildren but I would use it to purchase a new home. So I can continue to teach them to love through cooking.
