    am extremely grateful to Trinidad for helping me to discover my own creativity in the kitchen!  i love the food that Trinidad prepares and never thought that I would be able to make it — or even enjoy the process - because I used to view cooking as an unpleasant chore.  With Trinidad’s very practical guidance and support, I have been surprised at how much I enjoy cooking and creating healthy meals for my family.   Trinidad is such an inspiration and is so thoughtful in her approach to coaching. She keeps me focused on my goals, and I am truly thankful for her keen insight and ability to help me see the bigger picture of myself in the kitchen and in my family. Her perspective and guidance are helping me to not only to have more balance in my life, but to be able to enjoy it! She’s right when she tells me that the kitchen is the heart of my home!

    I first met Trinidad, founder Joy Foods Tampa, after being diagnosed with advanced-stage breast cancer. With a long and difficult treatment road ahead, I wanted to be sure my nutrition remained sound and supportive to my care.

    I found Trinidad to be incredibly knowledgeable and focused on my unique situation and tastes. She designed a meal program that was easy and delicious, raw and vegan. It was a relief to have several high-quality meals available and delivered every week.

    People kept remarking how well I looked during treatment, and I believe Joy Foods nutrition-packed eating helped tremendously. Now cancer-free, my outlook on delicious, healthy eating is forever changed.

  • I’ve known Trinidad for 3 decades including many magnificent culinary experiences. From creating a wonderful variety of hors d'oeuvres for my visual thesis opening in 2006 (patrons agreed, the highlight of the evening) to providing a weight loss program to fit into a 20 year old suit for a solo art opening in 2018, she is an exemplary ingredient to my nutrition fitness. Not only has she provided nutritional and aesthetically pleasing food but she also went through my cupboard pointing out stuff I thought was good for me but wasn’t (not always obvious).   She does this by satisfying your body and mind’s needs with a balance of sensual nourishment. Her talent is making amazing tasting delights that are good for you and are visually exciting. Her creations are edible works of art. I am so lucky to have Trinidad in my life. Kevin

  • have tried several different meal prep companies over the years that didn't quite provide what I was looking for. What a blessing it was to find someone locaIly who made the most delicious, freshest and healthiest meals! Trinidad is a food artist in my opinion. She created meals with ingredients I had never thought of would combine well together. Her food gave me extra energy without having to stuff myself, and at a reasonable cost. Did I mention how fresh the ingredients she used were and how delicious everything tasted? I know I did, but it bears repeating. I also had the pleasure of having several consultations with Trinidad centered around my eating habits and meal prep. She's an excellent teacher. She not only taught me techniques that applied to meal prep, but helped me create the mindset I needed to to overcome my old way of doing things. She helped me create a new way of living through healthier eating and self-care. I recommend Trinidad's services wholeheartedly and without reservation. Peter Mantice

Trinidad is not only my cooking/eating coach, she has become my friend. Her style of teaching is through “communication” – both listening to me AND repeating her instructions in her “Chilean accent” until it sinks in! That’s the way I learn, and I believe she adapts her style to fit the client! She reinforces the need for me to change how I think about my food choices – both eating and grocery shopping – so it becomes a healthy habit. While the focus of our coaching sessions is on healthy cooking, I am learning what MY body needs for energy and balance that will (hopefully) lead to weight loss and good health. I am a newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetic with hypertension. So far, my cooking and eating habits are helping my ‘lab numbers’ – keeping my doctor happy! Trinidad my best advocate and cheerleader. She is a positive force to keep me on track through constructive dialog – no lecturing or negative commentary from her!!! I am also happy she does phone consulting to assist with shopping and menu planning, along with a little ‘emotional therapy’ thrown in! My final words about Trinidad, she teaches through understanding, compassion, and a passion for ‘my’ health to live life to its fullest!

“Trinidad’s cuisine is a masterful combination of art and nutrition, of incredible flavor and gorgeous presentation. My family recently had Trinidad cater an event for us and everyone was blown away, vegans and carnivores alike. Trinidad is an artist and a healer.
