Pilar Hernandez

Hi, I’m Pilar Hernandez

I was born and raised in Chile and moved to Houston, Texas, in 2003 without knowing how to cook and speaking no English. Today, I’m a cookbook author and leader of 2 community gardens.
I will show you how to cook Chilean food with ingredients you find in your supermarket. I’ll challenge you to try exotic fruits like lucuma or maqui, our favorite cereals, wheat berries, and quinoa.

Welcome to my Chilean Kitchen!
