There are moments in life when you realize that the beautiful stories are rarely the convenient ones.

Cooking for tonitasny Toñita’s Fest was truly an all-hands-on-deck kind of experience. Borrowing kitchens. Calling friends. Leaning on my community. Figuring it out in the most unconventional places, one solution at a time. It’s not glamorous, but it’s real.

And honestly… I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’m doing all of this because I believe in this cookbook with my whole heart. Every event, every plate, every long day is another chance to introduce people to this little love letter to Puerto Rico.

I don’t expect anyone to buy my book simply because I wrote one. I want to earn every purchase. I want people to taste the love before they ever turn a page.

Because food has always been the language I speak best. It’s how I say “welcome,” “thank you,” “I’m glad you’re here,” and “I love you.”

So if you see me running around a borrowed kitchen with tired feet and a full heart… just know this is exactly what dreams look like before they become memories.

To madilaciephotography paintingbythepenny elfoodieboricua manolo.jpeg This wasn’t my team. This was my village. My friends who dropped what they were doing. The people who said, “I’ve got you,” without hesitation. The ones who lent me their kitchens, their time, their hands, their encouragement, and their hearts. There is absolutely no way I could have pulled this off without every single one of you. Los quiero de aquí hasta el cielo 🫶🏽🥹
