Born in Puerto Rico, and raised in Miami, she is an avid home cook, and has spent most of her life tasting a little bit of this, and trying a little bit of that, to clean plate results. Obsessed with candy, Cristina is most interested in the connection between ingredients and origins, and how eating your way through a city can always make you feel more at home. Her work has appeared in Popular Mechanics, Conde Nast Traveler, Redbook, and Every Day with Rachael Ray. Cristina holds a Bachelor’s degree in Magazine Journalism from the University of Florida and a Master’s degree, also in Magazine Journalism, from New York University. She lives in New York.
