Daisy Maria Martinez was born in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York to mainland Puerto Rican parents, who shortly thereafter moved to her paternal grandmothers house until she was five years old. Between her mother Conchita, and her grandmother Valentina, Daisy quickly learned that the kitchen is the heart of the home, filled with love, family and delicious, soul satisfying dishes. With an extended family of relatives from Central America, Spain and other parts of Latin America, Daisy grew up with an appreciation for the rich, diverse flavors of the Spanish speaking world.
After college, Daisy set her energies to raising a family, and after the youngest of her children entered school, Daisy attended the French Culinary Institute to study Culinary Arts, where she received first prize for her final project, The Passionate Palate. Upon graduation, Daisy worked as a prep- kitchen chef on the set of PBS Lidias Italian American Table, for her long time mentor, chef and restaurateur Lidia Bastianich, as well as a private chef in New York City, and as the owner of a small, boutique catering business, also called The Passionate Palate.
