In this special AW Confidential kitchen episode, Yvette Bodden steps away from the studio and into her kitchen to cook, reflect, and talk about food, family, culture, and growing up Latina.
Inspired by chef and author Mika Leon’s new cookbook, Cuban Soul: 100 Vibrant Recipes from Mi Cocina, Yvette prepares one of Mika’s recipes while sharing personal memories of her mother, the role cooking played in her childhood, and the way food becomes part of how Latino families preserve culture, identity, and tradition.
This episode is a personal reflection on Latinidad, family recipes, generational traditions, and the memories we carry forward, especially during Hispanic Heritage Month.
It also sets the table for the AW Confidential conversation with Mika Leon, who joins Yvette to talk about Cuban culture, family legacy, finding her way back to her roots, and the story behind Cuban Soul.
Because food is rarely just food. Sometimes it’s memory, identity, family and a connection to where we come from.
