Kitchen with a Mission: Josephine Villero - Cultures of Cooking

Close your eyes and imagine you’ve just walked through the doors of an opulent and lavish, but very hospitable, restaurant. Now picture yourself breathing in the flavorful and hearty aromas emanating from the kitchen, as cooks meticulously prepare delectable entrees for their guests. The scent of slow-roasted rib permeates the entire room and guests eagerly await to be served even just a small morsel of the savory main course. As you open your eyes you realize that you are standing in the living room of Josephine Villero, directly adjacent to the kitchen where she has worked all day preparing a delicious meal.
