About me

Location	NYC
Introduction	I'm a mom, an amateur writer, a technologically impaired human, a nutritionist and a pastry chef. I know...the last statement seems like an irony. Hence, The Irony of Baking. Here, I attempt to reconcile the often considered "sinful" pastry arts with wholesome, nutritious, KOSHER, and natural ingredients. I hope, I can inspire my readers to learn, dare, use and enjoy beans, seeds, spices, unrefined sweeteners, whole grains and healthy fats in their desserts, and other recipes. I studied nutrition in my native Mexico City. I moved to NYC in 2000, where I received a Master's in Food Studies from NYU and later I attended baking school. I worked at The James Beard Foundation, and at Confetti Cakes, and later opened the cake decorating venture Sweet Atelier. After my second child ate the fondant decorations I was working on, I cofounded Three Tablespoons, where I began experimenting with healthier baking alternatives and found my true calling, and my then toddler found healthier snacks. Along with The Irony of Baking, I'm a free-lance writer and recipe developer, and love teaching private classes.
