Chef Rita Hiraldo

My name is Rita, and I’ve always had a deep passion for food and the art of cooking. I started my culinary journey at a technical high school, where I studied Culinary Arts and began developing my skills in the kitchen. Now, I’m pursuing a Hospitality major at FIU, aiming to combine my love for food with a broader understanding of the hospitality industry. I believe food has the power to bring people together, nourish them, and create lasting memories. Through my cooking, I strive to not only provide great flavors but also to craft experiences that leave people feeling fulfilled and cared for. I’m excited about the future and eager to continue learning, growing, and ultimately sharing my culinary creations with the world. My goal is to use food as a means to connect, inspire, and, most importantly, nourish those who enjoy it.
