My culinary journey began at age 12 when my mother and grandmother first taught me to cook, and by 14, I had become my family's primary chef. Coming from a long line of food entrepreneurs—my family owned a gelatin business for nearly 100 years—food has always been at the heart of who I am.
Today, I share my family's treasured recipes and Mexican culture through my bilingual website, mamalatinatips.com, and across social media. My passion for preserving and sharing authentic Mexican cooking earned me the title of winner on PBS' "The Great American Recipe" TV show, first season.
When I'm not in the kitchen developing recipes or teaching others about Mexican cuisine, you can find me enjoying life on California's Central Coast with my husband, kids and playful husky, usually planning our next fiesta!
