Over time, my love for cooking grew, leading me to a family treasure: a handwritten cookbook written by Grandma Mercedes, my husband’s grandmother. A true heirloom full of flavors and stories! I promised myself to try one recipe a week, and that’s how my journey began.

I sold truffles when they were in vogue, baked cakes and cupcakes for my son’s friends, and even sold them in his school cafeteria and at graduation events—a huge success!

I later studied Education and became a teacher, but my passion for cooking never left me. Now, I’ve decided to go back to my roots and share these special recipes with you!

If you love recipes with history and a family feel, stick around! Let’s explore Grandma Mercedes’ cookbook and savor each delicious creation together!
