S2 E7: Food and Identity with Daniela Soto-Innes
In the latest episode of Life in Food with Laura Price, I talk about Food and Identity with Daniela Soto-Innes, former chef-partner of Cosme in New York and winner of the World's Best Female Chef Award 2019. In the episode, we talk about how Daniela found her own identity as a Mexican immigrant in the US, how she built a kitchen culture that champions diversity and particularly Latinos, and what happened to her personal identity when she left the restaurant to which she'd dedicated her twenties. Daniela also gives us exclusive news about her brand new restaurant, Rubra, in Nayarit, Mexico.

About Daniela Soto-Innes: Daniela grew up in Mexico City and moved to Texas at the age of 12, where she was a competitive swimmer until she was 20. But the women in her family gave her a taste for cooking, and at the age of 14 she started working in a restaurant in Houston, then in Mexico City and eventually moving to New York to open Cosme, which entered The World's 50 Best Restaurants list under her leadership. Daniela won the prestigious James Beard Rising Star Chef of the Year Award aged just 25, then The World's Best Female Chef Award at 30, and has even cooked for Barack and Michelle Obama. She opens Rubra in Nayarit, Mexico, in 2023.
