About Me
Hola! ¿Que tál? I’m Bernie, author of Herencia Cookbook.
I was born and raised in South East Los Angeles, where I currently reside. I am the youngest of 5 children, and I was raised by a Salvadorian-American mother and Mexican-American father. My parents actually met in SELA, in English school. What I admire most about my parents is that they did their best to achieve the American Dream. And, they succeeded in doing so.
