CASA HUITZIL KITCHEN

Chef Lupita Romero

My passion is cooking and being able to travel to different destinations. I am Mexican from Jalisco La Barca, a mother of two daughters. I am the 3rd place winner of MasterChef Latino Telemundo USA. That experience has allowed me to be a significant influencer and to be able to transmit to thousands of people before social networks different places, cultures, and traditions.

During my time on television, I have always promoted my country, the culture and warmth of our people, the paradisiacal beaches, and the culinary culture that we consider the best food in the world. I continue collaborating with a Latino magazine in the Chicago area.

In my gastronomy section, where I have the privilege of being able to demonstrate my recipes of traditional Mexican food, I am working on writing my first gastro-cultural book where I would love to be able to capture the food of the beaches of each region of Mexico since people asked me to have the recipes since the most important thing is to preserve our culture and be able to invite other cultures to know our country.
