Nine years ago today, I made history as the first Latina to win MasterChef! @masterchefonfox (And still… the only Latina.) It’s incredible to reflect on how far we’ve come since then. That 8-year-old little girl I once held close is now a sophomore in college. Thank you all for your unwavering support through the years—it means the world!
@chefclaudiasandoval was born & raised in sunny San Diego, California, to a family originally from Mazatlán, Sinaloa. Chef Claudia grew up with her mother & grandmother, who taught her how to cook from a young age. In 2015 she went on to become the winner of the sixth season of @masterchefonfox with Gordon Ramsay (@gordongram). She has then moved on from contestant to Judge on various shows like, Chopped, Chopped Jr., MasterChef Latino, on @telemundo, and is now Judge on MasterChef Latinos on @canalestrellatv. Recently Claudia has gone on to host various events for us including our Culinary Concerto on March 15 (link in bio) & our #soldout Sommelier Concertmaster Series with the last concert in the series being February 8. We couldn’t be more EXCITED to collaborate together with Claudia & see what she cooks up this year 🔥

Today is the day! 🇲🇽✨ Feeling incredibly honored to wear my @chef_works coat for Team Mexico as we compete on the big stage. This journey has been nothing short of extraordinary—from working dinner services at @wormwoodsd and @fishersandiego during the San Diego Food and Wine Festival @sdfoodwine, to months of fundraising, long nights, countless challenges, and those cold days and nights that tested our resolve. Every step has been worth it! On behalf of Team Mexico, we want to extend our deepest thanks to our incredible teammates, supporters, and amazing sponsors who made this dream possible. Your encouragement, dedication, and generosity have fueled us every step of the way. Now, it’s time to give it our all. Cheer on Team Mexico @bocusedormexico and join us in this incredible moment!

Durante los últimos seis meses, estuvimos a tu lado, acompañándote en tu batalla contra el cáncer. Luchaste con fuerza y con esa misma determinación con la que siempre enfrentaste la vida. Sé que eras una persona reservada, que no querías que nadie supiera por lo que estabas pasando, pero yo sí quiero que el mundo sepa cuánto te quería y cuánto te voy a extrañar. 😭😭 Se me hace cruel e injusto que ya no estés aquí, tan joven, cuando aún había tantos momentos por vivir, tantas risas por compartir, tanto amor por dar y recibir con tu familia. Desde aquí, te mando un abrazo y beso hasta el cielo: Ojalá estés con mi Tío Pancho, tomándose unas chelitas, pasándosela a toda madre. Me duele que te hayas ido antes de que pudiera regresar a despedirme bien, pero sé que eso no importa, porque en algún momento nos volveremos a ver. Y cuando llegue ese día, te preparo tus galletas favoritas otra vez. ❤️ Te extraño mucho Tío. Siempre estarás en mi corazón.🫶🏻

Season 3 of @thegeenathelatinashow drops THURSDAY at 1pm! @geenathelatina & @chefclaudiasandoval get raw, authentic, and vulnerable in episode 1 of the season! ❤️
Working for our team @bocusedormexico means I get to steal moments to explore LYON! And on this beautiful day I had to! Feeling really blessed to get to explore it with @_xico__ of @oasisbyfusion our amazing sponsor. We got so much done and get to squeeze lunch in at @le_merciere.
The entirety of Del Mar Wine Food Festival—all six days, all two dozen-ish events—is not to be missed. But you especially do not want to miss this night. This dinner. Aarti Sequeira from Food Network; Claudia Sandoval, winner of MasterChef; Dawn Carvajal, chef-owner of Wild Thyme Catering; and Neeta Mittal, owner of LXV Wines in Paso Robles… will come together for one epic meal, a celebration of women in food. And it all raises money for Feeding San Diego. The Spice Girls dinner: Saturday, October 5th, at one of the most beautiful private estates in San Diego County. Get your tickets at delmar.wine.

Day one of the Bocuse D’or Global Finals, kicked off with the first 12 countries! The @bocusedor , often called the “Olympics of Gastronomy,” is the world’s most prestigious culinary competition. Founded in 1987 by chef Paul Bocuse @paulbocuse_officiel , it features 24 teams of world-class chefs representing their countries in an unprecedented gastronomic showcase. Participants have 5 hours and 30 minutes to prepare elaborate dishes that are judged by an international panel of Chefs.

I’m still giddy with joy with our @khabaarco Conversations with Changemaker @chefclaudiasandoval this week! Loved her incisive comments on food, borders, Mexican cuisine, regional food and salsa macha recipe demo. We laughed, connected and left feeling like we were part of a larger picture and community. Thank you @georgehyphenanthony @aviatrixsoars @semajw68 @mungajune @koshnaspices @jhelumbagchi @claireelizajo @uweast1 @punjabitandoor5 @gillianmossart @sosophiarose @gstephengreer and so many more who made this conversation so energizing! See you next month! #khabaarco #changemakers #borders #masterchef #chefclaudia #salsamacha #tandoorichicken #garagecollective #madhushreeghosh #immigrantstories #foodstories #desistories
My favorite kind of friendships are the ones that pick up like no time has passed that are filled with walks in the rain, laughs, amazing meals and dinners that fill the heart with inspiration and wonder! Thank you Amigo del alma for sharing your night with this old friend from your life in US! We miss you in SD Monsieur Recamier! For those of you wondering our dinner at @art_restaurant_lyon was EPIC and one of my favorite meals of my trip! I also got to taste Cognac and Armagnac side by side and my new fascination… @pineaudescharentes_france! Thanks to the amazing team at Art it was EPIC 🤩
