In my fridge right now: Ana organized mess that only my head understands, but full of tasty ingredients waiting to be a part of delicious meals. My kitchen is: the heart of my home. On my bucket list: I want to live in the south of France for a while so I can improve my French and enjoy the local food and wine. Mi Hermana. This is my oldest sister, Liz, the last time we visited Mexico. She's a great cook and has a lot of imagination creating recipes. We always have fun when we're together. Best advice I ever got: Too many cooks spoil the broth. Also: work hard and be kind — that's it. Kitchen tool I can't live without: My silicone serving spoon. What few people know about me: I was born in Mexico City, later lived in Britain, and moved to the United States over ten years ago . You can learn so much from a country through its cuisine! Christmas Crazy. Last year, I got everybody matching pajamas for Christmas -- even our dog, Whisky. My favorite things to cook: soup and tacos. Best cook I know: My mom. She introduced me to so many different cuisines and flavors. I could tell you my secret recipe for: My Red Thai Curry, but then I'd have to erase your memory before you leave! What I like most about Allrecipes: The community has welcomed me and made me feel at home. When I became a member, I'd just moved to this country and was not familiar with many local ingredients. This website taught me how to use them in different recipes. I also love the fact that ordinary people have the opportunity to share their favorite family recipes.
