Theopolina, with a background in occupational safety and health, brings a unique perspective to her culinary endeavors, highlighting the importance of safety and well-being in the preparation and enjoyment of food.

Her family’s gatherings around the dinner table fostered her passion for cooking, and through these cherished moments, she discovered the powerful connections that food can create among people.
