“Leticia’s passion for cooking combined with her knowledge of health provides insight on how to better cook for yourself. Of course, the Latin influence throughout the recipes gives real soul and taste.”
Daniel BouludChef & Restaurateur 
“In Latin Superfoods, Leticia provides us fun lighter takes on Latin classics and a raft of fresh new recipes sporting Latin ingredients, all of them destined to brighten up my daily menus. Yucca Latkes, Hearts of Palm Ceviche, and Chicken Ropa Vieja are at the top of my try-‘em-now list, but I’m intrigued by nearly everything in the book.”
Sara MoultonChef, Cookbook Author and TV Personality 
“As a little girl, I lived in Rio and have missed the authentic flavor of Brazil’s cuisine. Until I met Leticia Moreinos Schwartz. This native Brazilian makes Brazilian classics easy at home from feijoada to farofa, pao de queijo to my favorite brigadeiros. Her food brings back great memories and I hope you too will fall in love with Brazil.”
Natalie MoralesHost of CBS The Talk (former NBC Today Show anchor) 
“Every now and then you get a sense that you are watching someone on the cusp of fame. That's my take on Leticia Moreinos Schwartz…Her first cookbook, The Brazilian Kitchen is really quite good. I was surprised at how easy many of the recipes were. And now I can make my own Pão de Queijo, those little cheese rolls...”

"I had the pleasure of doing a virtual cooking class with Leticia and it was absolutely amazing. She was patient and fun to work with, and the dishes ended up being delicious! It was a wonderful experience to be able to still cook and interact being so far apart and to learn so many tricks and tips in such a short time. Thank you, Leticia!"

Testimonials
From our Cooking Class Clients
“I would like to thank you personally and on behalf of our firm Dechert for the great cake-baking session in October 2021. My son Leandro, I, and every single other participant to this baking session to whom I spoke had so much fun and the cake we baked together was just incredibly delicious. It has become our favorite chocolate cake of our family! Thank you for the recipe and the amazing experience to be guided by a real star chef.”
"Our virtual class with Chef Leticia was absolutely amazing! I tend to cook quite often and try new recipes when I can, but there are so many things that one can’t pick up on their own as easily or as fast. Leticia was very attentive and gave us many tips as we cooked three authentic Brazilian dishes. Within a few minutes, she created a fun atmosphere and made me feel like I had known her for years. I learned so much from this lesson and can’t believe everything we prepared turned out SO delicious. Getting to try the food together and chat was a very cute way to end our time together as well.”

“We brought Chef Leticia to celebrate the hiring of new members at McKinsey. It couldn’t have been a better idea. The event was not only about cooking, but it was also fun and super interactive! She is incredible and all our members were engaged the entire time and enjoyed cooking her recipes. The day after the event, we couldn’t stop talking about her delicious Arroz con Pollo and Brigadeiro which we all have been making over and over again. For any firm looking to do team building events, Chef Leticia is simple awesome!”

"My wife and I had a virtual cooking class with Leticia. It was such a blast! We have been big fans of her cookbooks for a long time, so getting to cook together was very special for us. She proposed multiple menu options to help us find something that worked for us. We were given organized lists of ingredients and utensils needed. The streaming setup is very professional, which made following the cooking steps very easy. Leticia is such a pleasure to work with. We felt like old friends by the end of the class. It is our pleasure to spread the word on her talents!”
“I am so happy I found Chef Leticia - our virtual cooking class was nothing short of amazing! She was great to work with and very flexible with requests.

“I wanted to thank you for prepping us for our recent television appearance. I don’t know how we would have done it without you! Your coaching, attention to detail and enthusiasm, and energy in guiding us were phenomenal! We also loved the photo styling and photography you did to help our finished product look as good it tasted! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You were a complete pleasure to work with. A true professional!”

She was professional, passionate, and brought an energy to the program that made the experience nothing short of exceptional.

I’d highly recommend working with Chef Leticia and can’t wait to collaborate with her again! “

We hope that your experience onboard Holland America Cruises was enjoyable and that you are willing to participate in further developments with us.”
“Leticia hosted a Virtual Cooking Class for our organization during Hispanic Heritage Month. She not only brought great energy over the camera but great cooking tips, wonderful tasting food, and a lot of engagement. If you have not tried her Molten Dulce de leche – it’s a must!”
