This past year has been a tour de force for me both personally and professionally. Within the span of 365 days, I became the first in my family to complete a dual master’s degree, I gave birth to my first little bun in the oven, Amado Ziv, and I launched Lola’s Cocina. Whew!
As I finally began to catch my breath, Seth Resler, founder of Taste Trekkers invited me to join his “Find Dining” podcast where I discussed the exciting developments in Mexico’s food tourism industry, my research on cooking schools in Oaxaca, the significance of mole, and a tidbit about Cinco de Mayo. Listen in and experience the Oaxaca they’re not talking about in travel magazines or on TV shows!

Amazi looks adorable in that little chefs hat and that chocolate looks delicious!
I’m hoping that he grows up to be comfortable in the kitchen.:) That chocolate WAS delicious.
Congrats on all your amazing accomplishments. Your li’l chef is adorable! I’m listening to the great podcast right now 😉
Thank you, Yvette! I can’t wait for you to meet my little Amado.:)
