About your instructor & BSM Education Center Assistant Director, Nadia Rodriguez:
I received my culinary degree in 2018 and bring over 12 years of experience in the culinary industry, working across both savory and pastry disciplines. My passion for cooking began at a young age alongside my grandmother, where I first learned that food is one of the most powerful ways to share love and create connection.
My cooking is heavily inspired by Italian, Asian, and Latin cuisines, and I enjoy thoughtfully curating flavors to create dishes that feel personal, unique, and memorable. I’m passionate about sharing the knowledge I’ve gained over the years and highlighting the beauty of exceptional ingredients—like Barton Springs Mill flour—and how the care and intention we bring to them can transform food into an experience.
My ethos is simple: cook with the seasons, approach every dish with love, have fun in the process, and great food will always follow.
