This International Women’s Day, we’re putting the spotlight on our community of hosts and the stories behind their success.
We’re celebrating the talent, passion, dedication, grit, and legacy that each and every one of our hosts embodies – in the kitchen and in their everyday lives. Here are just some of the women who are rocking it in their kitchens around the world.
Host Raquel – Philadelphia, PA
I was born and raised in New Jersey by immigrant parents from the Philippines. My fondest memories growing up were around the kitchen table and so I have always been passionate about food and culture. I hope to tell a story through the dishes I create.

I was born and raised in a family that has a passion for cooking and food. Having owned a restaurant in the former Yugoslavia, everyone in my family knows how to use the stove. I welcome you as the Bosnians do – when you enter my home you enter my heart.

I was first introduced to the kitchen by my Caribbean family when I was 10 years old. From that point on, I became obsessed with mastering Caribbean techniques, along with sharing my passion for food. When you eat at my table, I’m sharing my personal story through recipes passed down to me.
