“Yeah, you got to know where it's coming from, you got to know the seasonings, you got to know all the things and put it together,” the 26-year-old said. “I like to nurture, like to nourish, and I want to be able to manifest that in cooking. That's my inspiration.”

The pair kicked off their cooking lesson by making Mangú, the national dish of the Dominican Republic made of plantains and oil or butter. They also made traditional ceviche from Peru and created some pupusas from El Salvador before making a Mexican dish called chiles en nogada.
