I've played a lot of different roles in my life and done quite a few things, but one thing that's been a constant for me is my connection to food.

Growing up in South America during a time when things were tough due to poverty and government control, there wasn't always enough to eat. Then, coming to America, it was a complete shift to having more than enough. Going through these two very different experiences has taught me a lot, but what I really want to focus on is my love for food.

I've spent a long time cooking, learning, and studying food and how it can impact our health. So, I've decided to really embrace this passion and take it seriously.

My main goal is to share what I've learned and help out those who are looking for advice or inspiration when it comes to food. Together, we can explore things like making recipes that are good for our health, cutting down on waste when cooking, and really understanding the world of spices. Food transcends its functional role, evolving into a means for healing, a form of artistic expression, and a bridge connecting diverse cultures and life experiences.

That's why I started Kitchen Wizardry – to give people a glimpse into my kitchen and my world. So, welcome! Let's learn and enjoy this journey together.
