Yvette Marquez-Sharpnack

Yvette draws culinary inspiration from her grandmother's old-world northern Mexican recipes and her mother's comforting south of the border home-style dishes. Though she writes primarily about her culinary adventures on her blog, Muy Bueno Cookbook, she also develops recipes for Avocados from Mexico, Betty Crocker and Clabber Girl brands. Her cookbook Muy Bueno: Three Generations of Authentic Mexican Flavor (Hippocrene Books), written with her sister Veronica and mother Evangelina, was published in October 2012. Besides her blog, Yvette has also been featured in Latina Magazine, People En Español, Cosmopolitan for Latinas and on NBC Latino, The Pioneer Woman, SAVEUR, Siempre Mujer, and Gourmet, among others. She lives in Colorado with her husband and two children.
