More about me

For me, cooking is...

What keeps me going. It is a lifestyle and a love of my life. I've learned so much throughout the years but theres still so much more to learn.

I learned to cook at...

A very young age. My mother taught me how to make pupusas as a child and I also grilled for my friends during adolescence

A cooking secret...

Understanding your ingredients at a deeper, individual level, rather than relying on recipes
