Emily Gonzalez

Emily González is a proud Cuban/Mexican American who lives in the vibrant city of Chicago. ”My father’s journey began in Mexico, and at the young age of 6, he embarked on a life-changing move to the United States. My mother’s family relocated from Cuba to the U.S. when she was just 6 months old. When it comes to Mexican cuisine, tamales hold a special place in my heart. When it comes to Cuban food, my top dish is rabo encendido. It’s truly heartwarming how we collectively savor these family recipes, reflecting on the enduring value of our family and the precious memories we carry with us.”
