Her recipes stay close to traditional Colombian home cooking, built around staples like plantains, corn, pork, and beans, with dishes ranging from hearty soups such as ajiaco and sancocho to fried snacks like patacones and buñuelos. She favors classic techniques and familiar regional flavor combinations over reinvention, aiming to make dishes like tamales antioqueños and bandeja paisa approachable for home kitchens.
