I’m doing this cookbook because I’ve always dreamed of being a chef. I grew up in a home where my parent’s entertained constantly and they cooked everything. I watched them and learned and discovered my love for cooking. My mother, Cecilia is a gourmet cook and Baker and thank God alive and well and still cooking and baking. I’ve always wanted to have a BISTRO to prepare my recipes and my mom’s. Now I have the time and I’m giving it a try. So I hope you like my dishes. Buen Provecho.
