"This book took 2 years to create, we tested every recipe at least 2 to 3 times a week. I thought a lot about indulgent dishes, things like pizzas, pastas, chickens, things families would like. I wanted them to be easy recipes anyone could make in their own kitchen. I had my staff taste test and try to make the recipes themselves. I can confidently say, there is so much work and passion behind each and every recipe."
"Chayote squash is native to Central America and grows rampantly in Honduras, where my parents are from. Chayote thrives in a tropical climate and grows best under humid conditions so it's not a common vegetable to grow in a dry climate like mine in Los Angeles.
