REAL FLAVOURS, REAL STORIESA Journey from Caracas to your table Hi, I’m Jen, the heart behind Margot & Montañez. My story starts in a little kitchen in Caracas, Venezuela, where my grandmother, Margot, first taught me that food is more than just sustenance... it’s happiness you can give.She wasn’t just an amazing cook; she was a culinary rebel who believed the best recipes are those made with love and shared generously. Growing up, I spent countless afternoons in her kitchen, mesmerized by her hands turning simple ingredients into magic. By the time I was twelve, I was baking alongside her, soaking in her stories and techniques. When Margot passed away at seventy-three, she left me not only her recipes but also her legacy - a deep love for creating food that brings people together. That legacy became my compass as I traveled the world. From Venezuela to the US, Denmark, the UK, and now Australia, I carried Margot’s spirit with me, along with a suitcase packed with recipes and memories. I started with humble alfajores, but over the years, I’ve refined my craft as a qualified pastry chef, blending traditional South American flavours with the global influences I picked up along the way. WHAT I BRING TO THE CLASS? As a pastry chef, I pair the techniques with the Latin desserts I grew up on. So you learn the why behind each step, not just the recipe.Teaching and sharing desserts is also my way of keeping Margot’s spirit alive. There’s something magical about seeing someone’s face light up when they take their first bite of something they’ve made or when they nail a baking technique they thought was impossible. Through Margot & Montañez, I’ve had the privilege of teaching hundreds of passionate foodies, hosting team-building events for small and major companies and even introducing Latin flavours to people who’ve never experienced them before. Every recipe I teach has a story; some of them may start with Margot. Classes are small and you bake in pairs, so you’ll get real help, plenty of tasting and at least a box of something delicious to take home.Let’s make something together that’s worth sharing. Te espero en la cocina!
