Piyas Culinary Journey
"Food is not just what we eat; it's the stories we tell, the memories we create, and the traditions we pass on."
- Piya
“A recipe has no soul. You, as the cook, must bring soul to the recipe.”
– Thomas Keller
Sustainable Sojourns & Clean Culinary Crafting:
In the idyllic settings of Miraflores, Boyacá, Colombia, I embarked on a journey of sustainable farming and clean cooking. I joined hands with local farmers, understanding the soul of each ingredient and its journey from soil to plate. My experience there wasn't just about food but about embracing a sustainable lifestyle. Committed to clean and ethical cooking practices, I curated a vegetarian menu for an organic farm, ensuring each dish reflected nature's purity and richness.
The Fitness Food Maven:
Marrying health with taste, I took the helm at PinUps to Pushups as thier Pleasanton FitChicks Lead . Here, my crafted recipes not only satiated taste buds but also catered to dietary goals. My workshops and regimented meal preps for the P2P 20 lbs in 6 weeks challenge became a beacon for those seeking nutrition without compromising on flavor.
“Food is our common ground, a universal experience.”

Global Gastronomy:
A Journey in Every Bite
From the lively street foods of Peru and Thailand to the refined epicurean delights of France and the spirited tapas streets of Seville, my palate has danced with the world's most vibrant flavors. Each culinary encounter, for me, is a passport stamp, a memento of the places I've been and the cultures I've immersed myself in.
Beyond just experiencing these flavors, I've nurtured a profound passion for curating and recreating recipes. This quest is not just about replicating a dish but about diving deep into its roots, understanding its cultural significance, and presenting it with a touch of my own narrative. My recipe collections are tales of discovery: from age-old family recipes to bustling markets rich with exotic ingredients. I intertwine every dish with its story, sharing with others the essence of my travels, and the incredible joy of culinary exploration.
