"I am so excited to share my passion and love for Latin cooking with a broader audience of home cooks," said Ingrid. "My collection of products with T-fal is designed to make preparing delicious, Latin-inspired meals simple, quick and full of flavor."

Ingrid has been fascinated with food, cooking and style since she was a little girl. Her introduction to cooking began with her mother, a Cordon Bleu chef, at such a young age that she needed a stool to reach the stove. With her mother, she discovered her love of cooking and flair for entertaining. In just a short time, she developed her own distinct, vibrant style propelling her into the culinary world.

In 1993, she opened Rocca, the first restaurant in Miami to feature tabletop cooking on heated lava rock. In 2002, she began hosting bi-weekly cooking segments on Despierta America (Univision), inevitably launching her towards a full-time career in television. Ingrid can currently be seen on Food Network's Simply Delicioso and Univision/Galavision's Delicioso.

Ingrid published her first book, titled Simply Delicioso, in February 2008, bringing Latin flavors into homes and making them easy to prepare for home cooks of any skill level.
