The most eclectic ingredient I’ve used is sea urchin. I saw it on Top Chef and thought, what the hell.

I LOVE raw sea urchin. How did you prepare it?

My mom’s onions rings made me want to cook, they are addictive. I tried to make them and just kept cooking.
Howdy, Danny,
Mmm, onion rings! My mom is also the reason I love cooking. Cheers to the mothers!

I was always drawn to the kitchen since I was little, but when moved into my college apartment I began my obsession with cooking and with trying to bring the taste of home to my new surroundings. That was also a time of expanding my food horizons and trying tons of new things. I think my current inspiration is my family, taking a little bit of everyone’s taste to try to come up with updated versions of our favorites. It helps that my grandmother just moved back into our hometown and I plan into mining into her recipe arsenal and her stories.
Greetings, Adriana,
What a wonderful food beginning. Grandmothers are the best chefs and always have addictive recipes. Enjoy your food mining!
Love, Peace and Appetizer Beginnings,
Brandon Maya
I look to what’s in season, color, and texture for inspiration! 😀

Love, Peace and Filmed Appetizers,
