Hi, I’m Karina Yáñez. I’m a passionate cook, sharing love, flavor, and culture through every dish.

My Story / How It Started

I’ve loved food since I was a little girl. Growing up, my mom worked long hours, and I learned to cook by watching neighbors, helping my family and eventually working in local restaurants. By age 13, I was learning to make a wide variety of dishes, and by 18, I worked at a well-known Mexican restaurant, improving my skills and deepening my love for authentic cuisine.

Cooking has always been my passion, and I feel incredible grateful to share it through cooking classes and catering. It brings me joy to do what I love while also being present for my family.

Why I Do This / Mission

Cooking is more than food; it’s connection, culture, and joy. My mission is to create meaningful experiences that bring people together through authentic Mexican cuisine, whether it’s in a class, a family gathering, or a special event.

Where I’m Based

I live in Sherwood, Oregon, and proudly serve the surrounding areas.
