Loved this! And especially this part that had me rolling: "Lechon. Pernil. Empanadas. Ropa vieja. Cuban sandwiches. Tostone. Maduro. Sancocho. I’m so white I don’t even know how to get accent marks over some of the vowels that require them in that list. But I can cook each one of these dishes and many more. Cooking and eating Hispanic food is what I know and what I love and every time I do I thank my grandmother and the Caribbean."

Latinidad is boundless.

It might not really be about Gen Z and cooking. I hate cooking. Ask me to do anything else besides cooking, ask me to rearrange things at home, write, read, even color, I’ll happily do it.

And my son, he’s 21, he loves to cook especially Chinese food because I don’t and he loves it! He will sit down and chop the onions and carrots patiently for as long as it takes before he starts the cooking process. I’ve never sat down to chop vegetables ever in my life!

It’s about where your passion lies! That’s all there is to it!
