A
long journey brought Patricia Vega to her mid-life transition
from Mexican homemaker to San Diego restaurateur. Born in
Mexico City she was introduced to the joys of cooking at a
very young age by her nanny and spent many happy hours in
the kitchen helping out with family meals and holiday feasts.
Having
done a lot of social entertaining Patricia decided to acquire
a more formal training and attended the Maricu Culinary
Arts Institute where she was certified as a "Mayora"
in Traditional Mexican Delicacies. She went on to participate
in numerous workshops with renowned Executive Chefs such
as Paola Olayo, Patricia Quintana and Monica Patino where
she perfected what she calls "the flavors of my people"
and developed her own culinary style. "I like to please,
I like people to enjoy my food and I make sure that everything
I cook I would be proud to serve to my family".
Patricia
established Hacienda de Vega in April of 2003 where she
does what she likes best: Nourish the body and satisfy the
soul.
