Experience

Chelsie Kenyon is a former writer for The Spruce, contributing recipes and articles for over 10 years. She is the author of a Mexican cookbook. She grew up surrounded by great cooks in her family and learned from a young age about spices and flavorings unique to Mexican food. As a young adult, she made several missionary trips to villages in Mexico during which she had a chance to discuss the local dishes and cooking techniques with the native people. She has also spent time in Chile, which further enhanced her knowledge of Latin cuisine.

She has also been a guest speaker on the topic of cooking Mexican cuisine at local community colleges and more recently, elementary schools.

Chelsie travels to Mexico frequently and shops at the neighborhood panaderias, carnicerias, and farmer's markets in her own neighborhood and loves to use locally grown, fresh ingredients to create new recipes and improve family favorites.
