Q & A with Chef Samantha Mendoza

Food & Beverage Magazine Pastry Chef of the Month – Samantha Mendoza

Samantha MendozaF&B What is your favorite Savory Dish?

SM I really hate just picking one dish, because i love Italian food and it is really a huge comfort food for me; but since my family is Hispanic, I have to go with tacos de trompo with rice and beans. I love the marinade on the meat, and it’s just the perfect meal.

F&B What is your favorite Dessert?

SM I love bonbons! Chocolate has always been my favorite. I get excited walking into new chocolate shops and getting to try more than one, since they are so small. I have traveled all over the world, and it’s always on my list to see a new shop. I’ve seen different takes on the same flavors, and every chef makes them different. I love tasting different cultures’ chocolates.
