Hi, I’m Sofia Martinez
I grew up in the coastal town of Monterey, California, where life moved to the rhythm of the tides and the scent of garlic, fresh bread, and garden herbs drifted through every window. My earliest memories are of my mother Elena’s laughter echoing through the kitchen, and my Nonna Rosa’s hands gently shaping pasta on a flour-dusted counter. In our home, cooking wasn’t a task — it was a daily celebration of love, culture, and connection.
