ABOUT THIS COOK:

As a child I avoided the kitchen and my mother’s constant failing attempts to get me to cook. Over the past few years I finally had a change of heart and have been cooking the Mexican dishes I grew up with for my family. Now I enjoy cooking and love experimenting in the kitchen and making my own modern Latin-inspired dishes. Just as my mother and grandmother did, I want to educate and inspire my generation along with future generations to appreciate the art of homemade Mexican food.
