The Secret Ingredient For Consistent Culinary Success Is Revealed!

NEW YORK, Feb. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Miami-based celebrity chef Ana Quincoces launches the first product in her line of gluten free, easy-to-use and delicious Marinades, Sauces and Rubs: the Skinny Latina Million Dollar Marinade.

Entertaining and cooking for loved ones is not an easy task – but what if there was some secret, multi-purpose and versatile ingredient that a celebrity chef bottled up and offered us for a consistently successful, delicious meal? This is what the Skinny Latina Million Dollar Marinade is. Perfect for cook novices or seasoned chefs, this quite simple yet effective potion complements any dish, meat, fish or veggie-based, enhancing the genuine flavors of the main ingredients, while adding a traditional, bold yet healthy Latin-inspired twist.

"The Skinny Latina products will give anybody the confidence to whip up healthy, delicious meals in one easy step" comments Quincoces. From using it as a simple marinade to adding your favorite ingredients and make up to eight different sauces, from mixing it up with herbs and use it as a rub to enjoying it as a simple dipping sauce: the Million Dollar Marinade is "courage in a bottle" and will provide a delicious starting point for any creative meal you'd like to whip up.

The flavor of the marinade is described as a Citrus Teriyaki Mojo, which wants to be a new, gluten-free twist of the more traditional Cuban mojo marinade, made with a handful of simple ingredients, such as citrus juice, garlic, salt and pepper.

No more excuses for not cooking, haunted by the fear of ruining a nice piece of meat, or some expensive exotic vegetables by drowning them in an awful sauce: trust Ana to add a little professional chef touch to your meal and inspire you to cook more and more and come up with your own personal combinations!

Available at over 600 Target stores nationwide and retailing for $5.99, the Skinny Latina products – warehoused by Creative Home and Kitchen in Miami, Florida – will be launched and tasted at the South Beach Food and Wine Festival later this month, during the Grand Tasting Event and the Swine and Wine Event. The products are also available on www.kitchenest.com. Quincoces has partnered with Manny Gaunaurd former CEO of IMUSA (#1 Ethnic and International Housewares brand in the U.S.A) to help with the distribution, development and branding of the new product line.

About Ana Quincoces

TV personality, lawyer, chef, thrice published author, Target partner and "A Bullseye View" contributor, brand ambassador for IMUSA (the largest Hispanic cookware brand), the face of Unilever's "Vive Mejor" campaign, South Beach Food and Wine Festival chef, creating and developing her Skinny Latina® food line and launching her Million Dollar Marinade, Ana Quincoces is a volcano of ideas and projects! Add to that her social and philanthropic calendar and her number one priority and self-described "obsession", daughters Kati (23) and Beba (22) you'll wonder how she does it all!

Ana grew up in a Cuban household in sunny Miami, Florida, where she was her mother's apprentice in the kitchen and discovered her passion for the art of cooking. Like many young Cuban girls, Ana was given a well-known Cuban cookbook as a gift by her mother. While she cooked from the book regularly, she always found it difficult and not very user friendly. As the time approached for Ana to teach her own daughters the way around a Cuban kitchen, she looked in vain to find an authentic Cuban cookbook that would appeal to a younger generation, and so she decided to write it herself. Ana self-published her first cookbook, "Cuban Chicks Can Cook", as both a tribute to her mother and a legacy for her daughters; the book quickly sold out in bookstores. Upon discovering her unique voice and easy authentic recipes, Ana was contacted by a large publishing house and commissioned to write her second cook book "Sabor! A Passion for Cuban Cuisine". Her third cookbook for the famed Versailles Cuban Restaurant in Miami is due out this fall.
