About me

Location	Washington, DC
Introduction	As a kid I was always in the kitchen with Mama right before dinner acting as her sous chef. Mama always thought I was trying to be helpful, but the truth is I was hungry, and just hoped my assistance would mean dinner would be ready sooner. I spent the first 18 years of my life in Germany, Japan and England. I then went to college in Michigan, studied abroad in South Africa, moved to California after graduation, and have recently relocated to Washington DC. My husband, Brent, is a Texifornian. On top of all that, I am half Mexican. Basically, I am culturally confused, or as sociologists like to call it, a third culture kid. This has influenced the types of foods I enjoy preparing. I am not a natural rockstar chef. I struggle with patience in the kitchen, and am always in a rush. I am determined to take my time, and be an excellent chef. Please help me in this journey. Cristina :)
