Lisa is a California native, fluent in Spanish. After living in Spain for several years and traveling through the Spanish-speaking world, she settled back in the USA with Tony. Lisa and Tony enjoy cooking together, and eating their way through a different region of Spain every time they visit. She has a background in linguistics and technology. Currently Lisa is a freelance writer, translator and Spanish teacher. Lisa also enjoys giving lectures on Spanish cuisine and culture at local universities.

Tony is a native of Castilla, Spain, and has lived in California for 30+ years. Tony spent much of his career consulting with restaurant start-ups, and managing different types of restaurants both in Spain and the USA. He has a passion for sharing his knowledge of Spanish food and wines with everyone, which is why he and Lisa started their culinary tours to Spain in 2004.

Lisa & Tony Sierra

We love eating!  We especially love Spanish food, wines and entertaining, of course. Like most Spanish families, whenever there is a celebration, there is plenty of food! We may live in California, but we cook Spanish. We entertain a lot and often prepare typical Spanish meals to share with friends and family. Everyone knows that when they are invited to the Sierra's, they are not going to go home hungry - and it is going to be a lot of fun!

We hope that our passion for Spanish food and fun is contagious and that you become a regular visitor to the Spanish Food site on About. Buen Provecho!
