Karla Vasquez, a trained chef and food writer from El Salvador, identified a significant gap in the availability of Salvadoran recipes in the U.S. despite a large Salvadoran population. This realization inspired her to launch SalviSoul in 2015, a platform dedicated to preserving Salvadoran culinary traditions through various mediums. Her effort culminates in the upcoming publication of The SalviSoul Cookbook, the first major U.S. cookbook focused on Salvadoran cuisine, showcasing not only recipes but also the women who keep this culture alive.
Vasquez believes that the lack of available Salvadoran recipes in the U.S. is absurd given the large Salvadoran population, prompting her mission to preserve their food culture.
Vasquez's journey led her to create SalviSoul, a platform dedicated to celebrating Salvadoran culinary traditions through storytelling, cooking classes, and recipes.
The SalviSoul Cookbook, which will be published in April, is the first major U.S. cookbook to focus on Salvadoran food, highlighting both recipes and cultural heritage.
Vasquez emphasizes that even simple culinary actions, like toasting seeds for recipes, can enhance flavors dramatically, embodying her philosophy on food preparation.
