It’s really amazing how food has the power to bring people closer together. Whether it’s family or friends, the ritual of cooking together and sharing a meal, always leads to wonderful things. (Even if sometimes the dishes don’t come out as planned.)
Ileana shares her stories on the podcast HERE.
Ileana also wrote a post of our chat on her blog! Be sure to check that out HERE.
Ileana Morales Valentine of A Little Saffron:
It was really great to chat with Ileana. She shared her story of growing up with Nicaraguan Latin food with her family in Miami and how it was different than her husband Danny’s food memories growing up in Iowa.
Their food adventures brought them closer together even though experimenting in the kitchen didn’t always result in something delicious or edible! (You can check out Ileana’s episode highlights HERE.)

ICYMI: Ileana’s World Ending, Last Meal:
I love hearing stories of how food can help build and strengthen relationships. I feel like we all have to eat and cooking is a big part of the overall experience. It can bring people of seemingly different backgrounds closer even if the result isn’t always stellar. There’s always a story to tell.
Thanks Ileana!
