In this episode, we explore the journey of food and familial connectivity with Chef Maribel.  

Ex-executive chef now teaching virtually home cooking classes covering foods from South America to North America. 
Cooking to me is about sharing life experiences and traditions with food. I'm motivated by the stories behind cooking and expressing that story into the flavor of the food. In 2017, my brother and I created Yuyo Peruano restaurant as a celebration of my culinary immersion throughout South America, where I connected with the people and the culinary community from Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, and Uruguay. I was recognized by the James Beard Foundation with the Best Chef nomination in 2019.
