La Cocinera and her recipe

By Martha Ortiz

Considering life as a cooking recipe is an interesting topic, since it provides us with an important symbolism and helps us to become aware of the ingredients we have. It also shows us what is required to cook them with greatness and translate them into life experiences.

Generally, women are familiar with this knowledge, since we have experienced kitchens as a space of freedom that empowers us, where we can command, take the frying pan by the handle and live in the trench of the fire.

This wonderful space has always been a place to create bonds of complicity, to share stories, experiences and narratives that unite us.
