Today, LUL's favorite Mexican-American Chef, Marcela Valladolid, is on the show. Esta mujer ha hecho de todo; she has been the host and guest of several cooking shows, has written cookbooks, and has been an entrepreneur with her business, Casa Marcela. She also connected with women worldwide during the pandemic with her live virtual cooking classes. Marcela and her sister, Karina, created a community of women who brought our Mexican culture, music, and good vibes to a kitchen near you.

Chef Marcela became a household name in the U.S. with her second show, Mexican Made Easy, on Food Network. Over the years, she has written cookbooks, such as Fresh Mexico: 100 Simple Recipes for True Mexican Flavor and Casa Marcela: Recipes and Food Stories of My Life in the Californias.

She has also been part of numerous culinary shows, such as The Kitchen, Best Baker in America, and The American Baking Competition. She was on The Apprentice with Martha Stewart and starred in Selena + Chef with Selena Gomez. This is an episode you do not want to miss if you need support, inspiration, and to feel seen in this world!
