About the Owner, Cecilia
Cecilia Cervantes here! I was born in Aguascalientes, Mexico, and moved to the U.S. when I was just six years old. One of my greatest passions in life is food, and some of my fondest memories as a child are of sitting in my grandmother's kitchen, watching her work her magic with simple ingredients. At the time, I didn't realize just how special those moments were, but looking back, I can clearly see how her cooking did more than just satisfy our hunger — it filled our hearts with love and warmth.
Growing up, we didn't always have the resources for elaborate meals, but my grandma knew how to make the most of what we had. With a few ingredients, often sourced right from her own backyard garden, she created the most delicious and comforting Mexican dishes. Her love for her garden – full of flowers, vegetables, fruit trees, and herbs – became an essential part of the meals she made. Now, I’ve started my own garden to honor her memory and that special connection to food and family.
The inspiration behind starting my catering company is simple: I want to share the joy that my grandma's cooking brought me with others. Food has a powerful way of bringing people together, and my goal is to use it to create memorable moments, bring families closer, and spread love, one dish at a time.
