“Mexican Made
Easy.”
Growing up
around expert
and traditional cooks in Tijuana,
Mexico, Chef Marcela was raised to be
passionate about food. Marcela
jumped straight into a culinary life with
her first job working at her aunt’s
cooking school in Baja, Mexico. She
realized she too wanted to pursue her
growing love for food full time and
enrolled in the Los Angeles Culinary
Institute. She continued her education
at the Ritz Escoffier Cooking School in
Paris where she became trained as a
classic French pastry chef.
In August 2009, Marcela was
given the chance to showcase her
family recipes when she released her
first cookbook titled FRESH MEXICO:
100 Simple Recipes for True Mexican
Flavor (Clarkson Potter). With the
book, Marcela became the advocate for
great Mexican food that delivers in
freshness and flavor without forcing
home cooks to track down hard-to-find
ingredients or spend hours at the stove.
Soon after her book release,
she landed a dream job as the host of
her own Food Network show, “Mexican
Made Easy.” The show made its debut
early in 2010 and films in San Diego,
where Marcela currently resides.

LEADERSHIP
Living a more purposeful life (English)
Presented by Patricia Sinay, Community Investment
Strategies
Our daily lives are filled with demands for our time, attention, and money. For many of us, our standard operating
procedure is to act first and think later (if time permits).
This reactionary mode leaves many of us tired, frustrated,
and lonely. What would be different if we aligned our lives
to our values? First we must clearly define our values.
Participants will clearly articulate their set of values and
purpose allowing them to find more meaning and fulfillment.
