Born and raised in the vibrant city of Puebla, Mexico, Maribel developed a deep love for the art of tamale-making from a young age. Her culinary adventure traces its roots back to the bustling home kitchen, where she spent countless hours assisting her mother and grandmother, as well as in their beloved tamales shop. With Mexican cuisine recognized as a UNESCO cultural heritage, she endeavours to share the rich tapestry of Mexico with the world—its people, culture, art, and gastronomy. Beyond the kitchen, her interests encompass a diverse range of disciplines including writing, dancing, traveling, interior design, marketing, branding, and storytelling. It was this very wide-ranging set of passions that led her to work with some of the world’s most prominent figures in various fields and industries, such as international best-selling authors, restaurants, embassies, chambers of commerce, museums, schools and event planners.
