Growing
up in Venezuela, The Nomad Cook was exposed to simple, natural, and even organic
homemade cooking. As a kid, she was an attentive observer of anyone
around her who was cooking. She made her first Arepa when she was probably
around 7 years old, but she had been practicing since kindergarten...
with clay.
One
of the things she cherished from her youth was bonding with her dad as they
adored eating together; often times speechless, sitting
in the back seat of his parked car devouring a melted cheese filled
Arepa...or pizza. Even when she was feeling under the weather, Arepa was the perfect
comfort food.
It
was always fun cooking with her mom on the weekends as she entered her
teen years and experimenting with bran wheat Arepas was
something she exercised.
The Nomad Cook has been a home cook since she was 13yo and a self-taught creative Cook since. She has 30 years of experience cooking Venezuelan, Italian, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, American and most recently Hindu/Bangla cuisines. She currently resides in NY and she's surely cooking something delicious in someone's home or her own.
