From My Abuela’s Kitchen to Yours

My culinary journey began in my grandmother’s kitchen in Puerto Rico, where I first learned the art of cooking from the heart. Surrounded by the aroma of sofrito and the rhythm of family gatherings, I discovered the power of flavor, the magic of fresh ingredients, and the joy of feeding the ones you love.

Cooking with my grandparents was more than just preparing meals—it was about love, legacy, and learning. Those early memories have shaped everything I do today, from teaching others how to build the perfect grazing board to developing recipes that honor tradition while embracing creativity.

Now, with over 20 years of professional experience as a chef, baker, and educator, I bring that same passion to you—through digital products, live cooking classes, grazing board workshops, and stories that celebrate culture and connection.

Whether you’re here to explore your own culinary creativity, learn the secrets to a stunning charcuterie spread, or simply cook something special with a little soul—I’m so glad you’re here.

Let’s gather, create, and celebrate—one delicious bite at a time.
