Introduction

I love...

Honey

Cumin

Saffron

Cracked black pepper

I hate...

Truffles

Goat cheese

Lamb

I love cookbooks

I collect cookbooks

I love reading cookbooks

I love ordering cookbooks

I love shopping for cookbooks

I love cooking from cookbooks

My cookbooks have come with me from one home to another

Ive learned to dog-ear the pages instead of sticking Post-its everywhere

I can recognize a cookbook wherever I go

And I think every cookbook has one recipe that will change your life!

I love creamy pasta

I love making soups

I am a one-pot girl

Multitasking, Im a bit screwed

I cant cook for large groups

Im a personal chef

I like to cook for myself without judgment

Why do so many recipes have to be for four to six?

Solo by Anita Lo helps

My home is a test kitchen

We are always cooking

Pilar Valdes and I are always deconstructing food

Figuring out new ways to make things in healthy ways

But we also love the classics

Our mission is to have two options:

The most decadent one and the most conscious dish as well

For those fortunate enough to have food right now...

I have heard comfort food is through the roof

Everyone is trying to soothe

Food...

I think of chefs as rock stars

I geek out

But Ive learned in this unprecedented time

That those who work in food banks are superheroes

They deserve all the support and the cheers and the donations and the attention

That said...

Next in line for superhero:

Grocery store workers and food deliverers!

I love that they are our heroes!

The people providing food on the front lines

I love food

I appreciate food

And those who provide it

I dont take any of it for granted

And anytime I am in need of comfort

I turn to

Kraft Macaroni & Cheese

DELUXE

Not powder

With cracked black pepper

And Dumb and Dumber

This will always make me happy
