About me
My name is Marcela and I come from Mexico City. As a teenager, I trained as a professional actress and worked in that industry for many years before coming to the UK.
I originally moved to this country in 2017 and although I have discovered many new foods here that I enjoy, roast dinner, shepherd’s pie, toast and marmite are just a few examples, I found that I really missed some of my favourite dishes from back home.
My first food memories are of cooking with my mother in our kitchen in Mexico City, that sacred place full of traditions, pleasant aromas and exquisite combinations. She taught me in the same way as she was taught by her mom, that cooking is an experience that should be enjoyed.

For me is about experimenting and being respectful of the flavours and the traditional methods.
It is for these reasons that I want to share my country’s dishes with you all. I have really enjoyed all the events so far, introducing authentic Mexican food to my guests and I have been delighted with the feedback I have received.
I canยดt wait to do more and hopefully, I will welcome you to one of my events soon.
