About Laylita

My name is Layla Pujol, my family and friends call me Laylita. I was born in Vilcabamba, Ecuador and currently live in Luxembourg. I love to travel. Discovering new places and trying new foods is one of my main sources of inspiration.

I love to cook (obviously). Many of my recipes are inspired by traditional Ecuadorian dishes that I grew up eating in Ecuador. I am obsessed with Latin American food. My food is also influenced by my mom’s spicy New Mexican cooking, my grandmother’s homemade Southwestern dishes and Texas-style BBQ, my husband’s (and his family’s) delicious French food.
