about me

Hola! My name is Elena and I’m a food content creator. I love to cook the Latin + Caribbean dishes I grew up eating in my childhood. Growing up Puerto Rican brings memories of eating delicious food and fun times spent with familia.

then & now

As a child, I spent many summers in Puerto Rico, eating limber de coco on my Abuela’s front porch. I grew up in Hoboken, NJ just a hop and a skip away from New York City. Every day I’d come home from school to the aromatic smell of sofrito cooking in the kitchen. Puerto Rican food was very much a part of my life then and still is now.

a love letter

Now I’m a mom of two beautiful and energetic children, Ella and Cameron. I love cooking Caribbean recipes and teaching them about our heritage.

As a mom, I hope to pass down my Puerto Rican culture to my children by way of love, laughter, food, and experiences. My recipes are my love letter to my family.

I hope you enjoy a taste of Puerto Rico while you’re here! ¡Buen provecho!
Elena, Ella and Cameron Gergis
