About your instructor & BSM Education Center Assistant Director, Nadia Rodriguez:
I got my culinary degree in 2018 but have been working in the culinary industry for 10 years now, with both savory and pastry experience. My passion for cooking started early with my grandmother, and I believe cooking is sharing love. I adore Italian, Asian and Latin cuisines.
I love to curate seasonal flavors for individuals to make something unique and one of a kind. My desire is to share the knowledge I have gained and showcase how amazing ingredients such as Barton Springs Mill flour and the intention you bring toward those ingredients can truly transform food into an experience. My ethos is to have fun, do it with love, and you can't go wrong!
