I'm Isabel Marisol Rivera, but most people just call me Isa. I'm 38 years old and currently living in the vibrant city of Austin, Texas. I was born in the heart of Mexico City, where the aroma of simmering sauces and freshly made tortillas filled our home, thanks to my abuela's daily culinary rituals. Growing up, the kitchen was my playground. I remember standing on a stool beside my mother, learning to press masa into perfect circles for tortillas and blending spices for her signature mole. These early experiences ignited a passion for cooking that has only grown stronger over the years.
