Ana Quincoces
www.anaquincoces.com

Ana Quincoces was voted Miami’s “hottest chef” by Eater magazine in 2011. She grew up in a Cuban household in sunny Miami, Florida, where she was her mother’s apprentice in the kitchen and discovered her passion for the art of cooking. Like many young Cuban girls, Ana was given a well-known Cuban cookbook as a gift by her mother. While she cooked from the book regularly, she always found that it wasn’t user friendly. As the time approached for Ana to teach her own daughters the way around a Cuban kitchen, she looked in vain to find an authentic Cuban cookbook that would appeal to a younger generation, so she decided to write it herself. Ana self-published her first cookbook, Cuban Chicks Can Cook, as both a tribute to her mother and a legacy for her daughters. The book quickly sold out in local bookstores and soon after, Running Press contacted her about writing her second cookbook, Sabor! A Passion for Cuban Cuisine.

Ana made her reality TV debut in Season 2 of the Real Housewives of Miami on Bravo. Her particular wit, tongue in cheek irreverence and humor made an impression with viewers and has made her a fan favorite. She practiced law for over 20 years in Florida, specializing in real estate law with her now ex-husband and father of her two daughters with whom she enjoys an excellent friendship.

Since 2009, Ana has been a spokesperson for IMUSA, the top Hispanic cookware brand in the country sold in over 10,000 stores. She participates in Macy’s Culinary Council demonstrations nationwide with sponsors such as the American Heart Association and Hispanic Heritage Week, and has been a keynote speaker at Slow Food events.
She contributes to magazines and newspapers, and appears on national television in the US and abroad, on a regular basis. She was recently featured in Latina magazine, and has appeared in cooking segments for CNN en Español, Univision’s “Despierta America”, Telemundo’s “Acceso Total” and Global Fox’s Utilisima network.
