Flavor is something I don’t mess around with. One of the things I learned early on was to always taste the food while cooking. On days when I am rushing through cooking time it shows in the final result.

That’s why I always rely on fresh seasonal ingredients as much as possible and always – always good seasoning. For generations we have been using Knorr®.

First, my grandmother then, my mom, my sister, me, and now I am passing the tradition down to my daughters. Knorr® adds authentic flavor to a traditional or to any every day dish.

Knorr® Tomato Bouillon with Chicken Flavor is perfect for many dishes, such as pollo guisado (chicken stew), arroz con pollo (rice with chicken), sopas (soups), tacos, this amazing roasted chickpea fajitas and many more.

Enjoy Lent season and add the rich authentic Latino flavor of Knorr® to all of your dishes. You will thank me later. Knorr® is amazing at giving your dishes another level of flavor that you didn’t even know you needed in your life. Plus, I have a gift for you!
