Eating Healthy with Chef Surelys Negron Figueroa

Name: Executive Chef Surelys Negron Figueroa

Club: Deering Bay Yacht & Country Club

Location: Coral Gables, FL, USA

Chef Surelys is renowned for her culinary mastery. Her secret weapon? Maitake mushrooms—earthy delights that added an umami-rich depth to her creations, from hearty risottos to savory stir-fries and flavorful soups.

But Chef Surelys’ culinary journey was more than just about ingredients; it was rooted in connections and memories. Her grandmother, a culinary inspiration, kindled Surelys’ passion for cooking during her childhood. Together, they created a symphony of flavors, forming a bond that transcended recipes.

Surelys’ grandmother had a knack for turning meals into memorable experiences. Their time in the kitchen became the foundation of Surelys’ love for food and the inspiration behind her culinary prowess.

The maitake mushrooms, with their wholesome richness, symbolizes not only the depth of flavor in Surelys’ dishes but also the richness of connections formed through shared experiences. As we celebrate wellness this month, we remember to cherish those moments we have with friends and family, turning each meal into a celebration of life, love, and the enduring power of shared moments.
