Ericka Sanchez

Ericka Sanchez is a cookbook author, recipe developer, food stylist, food photographer, host of the award-winning television show ‘Ericka’s Mexican Cocina’ and creator of Nibbles and Feasts. Ericka’s cooking revolves around her life as a bicultural Latina living in California and began as a way to catalog recipes and cherished memories in the kitchen with her grandmother, Amelia, and mother, Carmen, in Mexico. Now her recipe development has led her to reconnect with her Mexican roots by developing her own twist on the traditional.
