Maria (of local Nona s Market fame) was asked several questions about her history with food and how she honed her cooking craft when she entered the contest. Maria started her cooking venture late in life. She says, We have eight children and somewhere along the line food became our glue. And that love for preparing food, thankfully for the rest of us, quickly grew beyond the walls of her own kitchen. She started helping friends with weddings, birthdays, and other special events. Today, you ll find Maria catering a variety of events around the city.
