I [have] been trying to bring her for two years, but what really triggered things is that I wanted to focus this year on health and wellness in the workplace,” said Martinez, “something that would enhance health and wellness and on how to balance career, family and health. During her presentation — with a Chef LaLa sense of humor — she showed the audience how to prepare five different healthy meals, including green enchiladas, Chinese food and salads: all in less than ten minutes.
When it comes to cooking, one of the most important things you have is your traditions; make sure you keep your traditions alive, says Chef Lala.
