Another important milestone this month was her presence at the launch ceremony of the 2024 Michelin Guide Miami, where her inclusion in this prestigious selection was officially announced. This recognition comes at a pivotal moment for Chef Alejandra, as it coincides with the opening of COTOA in its new location in North Miami (12475 NE 6th Ct, North Miami, FL). It’s a meaningful step that aligns with Alejandra’s vision of creating spaces that celebrate our roots through a modern, elegant, and emotionally resonant lens.
A Tribute to Ecuadorian Shrimp
Chef Alejandra participated in a gastronomic and educational event focused on promoting Ecuadorian shrimp, one of the country’s emblematic products. The event, held at Hotel Go in Quito, marked the official launch of the Shrimp Nutritional Guide, developed by the National Chamber of Aquaculture, Sustainable Shrimp Partnership, and Seafood for Health.
Her involvement highlighted a commitment to combining technique, creativity, and local ingredients, reinforcing the value of Ecuador’s culinary roots.
These events not only reaffirm Chef Alejandra’s talent and career but also showcase her ability to represent Ecuador on prestigious stages, bringing with her a culinary vision full of identity, depth, and emotion.
