Cuba native and proud Afro-Latina Bren Herrera cooks delicious and authentic recipes with lots of flavor.

Bren lays out a go-to Cuban feast that her family loves. She gets started with a traditional Cuban rum and cola. Next it's a sofrito seasoned eggplant stew, then onto a pot of tender peppered oxtails.

In this episode it's not just a rice dish, Bren puts her spin on paella that's hearty and delicious. She makes a black rice seafood, mushroom paella and serves it along with a very fruity sangria.

Bren elevates soulful comfort by blending her vibrant Cuban roots with modern culinary flair; the centerpiece is a decadent, fall-off-the-bone oxtail mac and cheese.

Chef Bren recreates her favorite global flavors, bridging the tropical shores of Fiji with the refined elegance of France. Her nod to France is pan-seared branzino with crisped skin, draped in a luxurious Champagne cream sauce and topped.
