Chef Isabel Cruz

Isabel Cruz grew up in Los Angeles in a Latino family whose large and frequent gatherings were always centered around food. She learned to cook from relatives from Puerto Rico, Cuba and Mexico and the Japanese, Korean and Thai dishes she tasted at her friends' houses. She saw a lot of similarities between Latin and Asian ingredients and she put them together to create fresh, exotic food with bold and unique flavors. Isabel started tweaking her menus to use these rich traditional flavors in more healthy modern dishes. Now, Isabel’s beliefs and examples of clean, simple eating give people a new vision for what “health food” can be: Delicious.
