When the workday at CSA ends, Angel can be found showcasing her eye for detail in the kitchen! She enjoys both cooking and baking, but usually makes meals so large, there isn’t room for dessert. Her favorite type of food to cook is Mexican because once presented on a platter, all the fresh ingredients come together and create a vibrant picture.
