For Mely Martnez, Mexican cooking has always been aboutfamily, community, and tradition. Born and raised in Tampico, Mely started helping in the kitchen at a very young age, since she was the oldest daughter of eight children, and spent summers at her grandmothers farm in the state of Veracruz, where part of the daily activities included helping grind the corn to make masa.

Mely started her popular blog,Mexico in My Kitchen, to share the recipes and memories of her home so that her son can someday recreate and share these dishes with his own family. In the meantime, it has become the go-to source for those looking forauthentic home-style Mexican cooking.
