Ana Sofía Peláez

Ana Sofía Peláez grew up in a famous Cuban family as the great-niece of the revered avant-garde painter Amelia Peláez del Casal. Raised in Miami and transplanted to New York, she launched her food blog, Hungry Sofia, in 2008 in an effort to discover the rituals of Latin food. Since then, she has been featured in the New York Times and InStyle, among other outlets, and Hungry Sofia was nominated as one of the Best Regional Cuisine blogs by Saveur. The Cuban Table is her first cookbook. @hungrysofia
