One of the country's leading Latina chefs, Lorena Garcia was born and raised in Venezuela, and credits her many gatherings spent entertaining family and friends as her career inspiration. "Bringing loved ones together to enjoy wonderful food is something that has always fulfilled me." Lorena completed her law studies in Santa Maria University in Caracas and moved to the United States to complete her Associate Degree in Paralegal Studies. Making her dream to become a chef a reality, Lorena traded her law papers for a cutting board and chef's knife to study culinary arts at Johnson & Wales University.

Inspired by her education and burgeoning creativity, Lorena set out on a world tour of countries known for great cuisine. She worked as an apprentice chef in France, Italy, Japan, Korea, Thailand, and China and worked in famed restaurants alongside world-renowned chefs such as Pascal Audin. Her next step was to establish Food Cafe, and later Elements Tierra, two sucessful restaurants in Miami's Design District featuring menus defined by an eclectic blend of Latin and Asian-inspired dishes.

Lorena's charismatic personality and contagious enthusiasm have helped her secure numerous roles as host on nationally syndicated shows including Vida Gourmet on the Gems network; Cocine Mun2, Mun2 network; El Arte del Buen Gusto, MGM Casa Club TV;Sazón, Univision Radio; and currently Sazón con Lorena Garcia on Utilisima.

Lorena's dynamic appeal has also been recognized by global brands. Moving into her third year as a Nestlé spokesperson, Lorena appears on Cocinando con Nestlé, a weekly segment on the Univision morning show, Despierta America, where she prepares popular and traditional dishes from Latin America. Every year Lorena showcases her culinary talents on behalf of Nestle brands during a multi-city North American tour of Latin street festivals and fairs. Lorena is also in collaboration with Splenda® No Calorie Sweetener to develop new recipes with the product, and represents Splenda® on national media appearances.

Most recently, Lorena has taken on the challenge of combating childhood obesity using her culinary knowledge. She developed "Big Chef, Little Chef" as a comprehensive program to help kids and their families take control of their eating habits and ultimately, their lives. More than simply promoting healthy eating, it is a lifestyle modification plan that educates children of all ages and their families about the benefits of nutrition and of living a healthy, happy, and positive life.

In addition to her passion for food, Lorena is quickly establishing herself as a lifestyle maven. She has recently inked a deal with the award-winning Baywood Cellars winery and has developed a signature line of products with Belk Department stores, the largest privately owned department store company in the United States.
