About Paola Huizar

I have had a passion for cooking ever since I was little. I still remember the days where my mom or my grandma would put me on a stool and would let me get my hands into whatever they were cooking. I'd say, due to my Mexican roots, that Mexican food is my 'forte' but I love to try different types of cuisine and let my imagination fly away. Next to my passion for cooking is my love to share my recipes with family and friends (and would love some new ones in exchange!). Looking forward to new ideas and inspiration!
