Isabel Cruz discussed the benefits of eating healthy. As a self-taught chef who has opened many successful restaurants, Isabel knows that her message of eating healthy is reaching many. Her Latino heritage which combined the traditional dishes of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Mexico, and her love of Korean, Thai, and Japanese cuisine have played a major influencing role in her ability to mix bold flavors to breathe new life into traditional dishes in a much healthier way.
With six different restaurants stretching down the West Coast from Portland, Oregon to San Diego, Isabel continues to dazzle with her recipes. Her local restaurant is Isabel’s Cantina in Pacific Beach, where people dine on her creative blends and Hispanic and Asian cuisine. In addition, Isabel has authored a cookbook so that everyone can enjoy these healthy recipes at home. So listen to the interview to learn how healthy food does not mean that your taste buds receive no excitement.
