Angie


Angie grew up in Monterrey, a northern Mexican city near the US southern border. It’s a region famous for its cowboys, cattle, and barbecue—on both sides of the Rio Grande.

Her grandparents lived on a ranch next to the river, and she loved spending time there when she was a kid. The house was surrounded by all kinds of fruit trees—avocado, lime, papaya, pomegranate, and pecan. She loved watching her mom and grandmother make fresh flour tortillas or cook in the outdoor kitchen, where they often grilled meat and fresh cactus paddles, which they harvested from their land.
Angie has always loved cooking. She and her two siblings often helped their busy, working mom with the cooking, and whenever Angie was over at a friend’s house, she would usually end up in their kitchen asking questions.
At fifteen, Angie moved with her mother and her sister to New York City. At eighteen, she started working as a bartender at a Mexican restaurant, where, of course, she also helped out in the kitchen. Since then, Angie has worked as a model, an actor, and a photographer and helped to run the Mariachi Academy of New York, a nonprofit school that offers free music lessons to children.
She is passionate about preserving Mexican traditions of all kinds, the color pink, and being a very proud mom to her son, Alexander, and her daughter, Angelina.
Angie’s diverse and delicious repertoire of recipes has been featured by The Today Show, Food & Wine, Martha Stewart Living, Family Dinner with Andrew Zimmern, The Splendid Table, Epoch Times, Nuvo Magazine, and Mommy Poppins.
