"Para Mely Martínez, la cocina mexicana siempre se ha tratado de familia, comunidad, y tradición. Nacida y criada en Tampico, Mely empezó a ayudar en la cocina a una temprana edad, siendo la hija mayor de una familia de ocho hijos. Desde pequeña, Mely solía pasar los veranos en el rancho de su abuela en el Estado de Veracruz, donde sus tareas cotidianas incluían ayudar a moler el maíz para hacer masa de nixtamal. Mely empezó su blog, México en Mi Cocina, para compartir las recetas y recuerdos de su hogar y de su cultura, para que en un futuro su hijo pudiera compartir estos platillos con su propia familia. A través de los años, su blog se ha convertido en la fuente de información preferida para aquellos que buscan la cocina casera mexicana."-- "For Mely Martínez, Mexican cooking has always been about family, community, and tradition.
