About Brenda

As a kid you would find me in the kitchen, at my mother’s side while she made tortillas. I would watch as she eyeballed the flour, added salt, and mixed in the olive oil until it felt right. My mom cooked with her senses and I wanted in. My time spent with her, learning hands-on the foundations of Mexican cuisine, is what sparked my personal love of cooking. And I reference those little moments when I am in the kitchen today, trying to bring ingredients to life like my mom would.

Menus

I believe in creating sustainable relationships with local farms and cooking with the seasons when produce is at its peak.
