I created this blog to share with the world my love of food. My family owned a restaurant in Mexico City for about 40 years where I spent a lot of time while growing up. My memory is filled with delicious aromas and tastes that I now try to reproduce in my own kitchen.

Being of Mexican origin I love Mexican food. Despite popular belief, Mexican cuisine is more than tacos, burritos and spicy food. It is a cuisine thousands of years in the making that has incorporated ingredients and flavors from all over the world creating a wide and vibrant array of dishes. One of the objectives of this blog is to unveil some of those delicious dishes to the world.

Although I specialize in Mexican food, I love to try new cuisines, ingredients and techniques to incorporate in my recipes. I believe cooking is a natural art because it fills one of our most basic needs. That’s why I try to keep my cooking and recipes simple, quick and unpretentious, yet healthy and flavorful.

Now that the cost of living is rising at a very accelerated pace and the general health seems to be deteriorating we need to rethink the way we live and eat. That might look like a big challenge, but I love challenges and I hope you enjoy my kitchen (and health and fitness) adventures as much as I do.

Buen provecho!
