How It Got Started

Hello! My name is Lili and I have a passion for food and travel and the way both bring people together. 

I was born and raised in Guatemala City and my love for food started while watching my mom and my grandmother cook for the family.  

Since I was young, I knew I wanted to see the world. I lived in the United States for eight years and in 2008 I decided to move to Barcelona.  I immediately fell in love with everything this city has to offer, but mainly the food and wines. Being in Europe has opened my senses and desire to learn more about food and how to prepare it. 

Living in Barcelona has given me the opportunity and access to all my favorite things and to so many people who share my same passion.  During my years here I have learned so much about the culinary world thanks to someone that was very special in my life and to my friends who have shared their recipes and knowledge with me.    

My other passion besides food is traveling.  I love to experience the flavors that each country has to offer.  The possibilities are endless when it comes to ingredients, flavor combinations, and methods of preparing food.

I also enjoy finding new restaurants and places to go out to eat, get inspired by new flavors, and then try to replicate the dishes and flavors by giving them my personal touch.

​

For a long time I had been wanting to share my recipes and the places I have visited but never got around to do it.  For everyone that knows me personally, in 2020 I hit a bump in my life, and cooking has provided me with a creative escape during a difficult time.   Thank you to everyone who has supported me and has prepared my recipes, it means the world to me.

If you have any recipes you would like me to share please send me your requests, I would love to try new dishes.

I hope you enjoy my site!
