Just bought your cookbook for my daughter who is in college living in her first place and she is cranking out some amazing food! I enjoyed reading about your journey and always love trying your flavor combinations! Congratulations.

Carolina, this is so beautiful and inspiring. I am so proud of you--for you--of how far you have come and that you made this happen for yourself!! With drive and passion and ingenuity (and a loving mama who believed in you!!). Your talent is all your own and her joy for sharing food is so infectious. It's incredible the doors that the internet can open, for all of it's ills, it can make dreams come true too. Congratulations, it's a joy to watch your success and to see you celebrate all the parts of your journey here. xx

Carolina, this is the most beautiful and heartbreaking motivational post you wrote. I've been admiring your content for a long time - from when you started to gather more exposure and I discovered you on Instagram. I even one time wrote to Kimberly Espinel, who is making the "Eat Capture Share" podcast to invite you to be her guest because I wanted to know your story! :D

And now you shared the story and it shows to me that really... no matter where you're from, no matter your financial resources - EVERYTHING is possible if you love doing it. That knowledge is exactly what I need right now for my journey.

There is a local tourist area with many J-1 workers that I visit often - not unusual to be served by the same person at two different restaurants in the same day! It is such a brave and adventurous thing to do, and I always tip well as a small contribution towards the youth of our global community.

My copy of Pass the Plate just arrived and I read it cover to cover last night! Congratulations on a gorgeous book, and wishing you continued success and happiness!

Congratulations! I read that you decided to settle in Utah from The Golden Braid bookstore. Where are you? I live in Orem.
