Mapi Rodríguez was born in Gran Tarajal, Fuerteventura, Canary Islands. She moved to Madrid to finish her studies and later to Barcelona, where she now resides. She has worked as a Casting Director and Judicial Expert in Graphology and Psychographology. Her passion for literature and poetry led her to submit her poems to several contests, becoming a finalist in the "HAIKUS" category.
In 2020, she published "The Secrets of Lilva" as an author. In 2023, she published "The Spice Box". Her book not only shares her love for spices and their use in cooking but also personal stories, family mysteries, and significant encounters that have shaped her life. She weaves a captivating story of love and discovery that transcends the kitchen and delves into the hearts of her readers.
The love that Mapi has for spices goes beyond their taste and aroma; they are a bridge that connects her present with her past, her home with distant places, and her own story with those of others. Spices represent a golden thread that unites all stages and experiences of her life, turning "The Spice Box" into more than a cookbook; it is a portrait of her life, a celebration of her love, and an invitation to explore the infinite possibilities that spices offer in our own lives.
With an authentic voice and passionate vision, Mapi Rodríguez invites us on an unforgettable journey through the transformative power of spices, showing us how they can open new ways of understanding food, family, and love.
