Susana's Story
In 1999, I published my first major book, Seasons of My Heart, A Culinary Journey through Oaxaca, Mexico and hosted a TV series for PBS by the same name. In 2000, we moved the cooking school out of my home and inaugurated the “temple of cooking”, as our friends call the new school and this began a whole new phase in teaching and hosting people from all over the world. Today, my favorite aspects of my work are the regional tours and all of the new people, places and recipes that have come into my life.
