With the Ambassador of El Salvador to the United States, the honorable Milena Mayorga. I received a recognition for being outstanding Salvadoran woman for my work as cookbook author. I am beyond proud and grateful.
Congratulations to the other amazing and accomplished ladies who also received this great recognition.
I dedicate this honor to my mother, grandmother, my sisters, my aunts, cousins and to all those women who taught me how to cook authentic Salvadoran food.
My mission is to preserve and rescue traditional Salvadoran recipes for the next generations.
Thank you to the honorable Ambassador and her team for a wonderful and generous day.
We ended this beautiful event with prayers led by @pastorarossycerrato.
God bless El Salvador and our people.

COOKING CLASSES
El pavo salvadoreño en @telemundo52! Es un honor y privilegio representar la cocina tradicional salvadoreña.
Es muy importante que las siguientes generaciones de salvadoreños se sientan orgullosos de su herencia cultural. Yo siento la responsabilidad de plasmar y documentar la gran cocina tradicional salvadoreña.
Como palmear pupusas. Lo mas importante cuando se esta aprendiendo a palmear pupusas o tortillas es divertirse, y no se preocupen que salgan perfectas, eso viene con la practica.
