Yolanda was born in Portugal, grew up in Venezuela, and her parents are from France and Portugal. She studied cuisine in the prestigious Mariano Moreno school in Venezuela, and she’s passionate about Argentine cuisine and desserts. But don’t let her European roots fool you—Yolanda is a true Latin American at heart.
