Luciana Corrêa is a Brazilian pastry chef with over 20 years of experience, known for her creative approach to both traditional and festive desserts. She began her career crafting personalized fondant sweets and intricate cake toppers that brought joy and storytelling to celebrations. Over time, she shifted her focus to more classic, comforting treats—cakes with generous fillings and toppings that combined homemade warmth with professional flair. Her passion for teaching led to the creation of popular online courses, including one on Pavlovas, where she shared her secrets to mastering the delicate dessert, and another on Tiramisù, guiding students through every step from biscuits to mascarpone. Luciana also maintains a thriving blog dedicated to pastry, where she explores vintage recipes, uncovering their histories and reviving forgotten flavors. This deep dive into culinary nostalgia inspired her first book, Escreva, Lily!, a playful and informative celebration of old recipes and their stories. As an entrepreneur, writer, and instructor, she continues to share her knowledge and passion through various platforms. Her love for classic recipes and dedication to culinary heritage also led to her role as an ambassador for ckbk in South America, where she promotes the preservation and appreciation of global food culture.

Morena Leite, the author of Brazil Rhythms and Recipes, is one of Brazil’s most well-known chefs but she more than just a chef. She is an artist of flavors, a passionate educator and a tireless social entrepreneur. Her work goes far beyond the kitchen — she connects people, transforms communities and plants seeds of food consciousness wherever she goes. Interviewing her I saw a sparkle in her eyes, a guiding faith behind her actions, and a clear life purpose. Morena is a unique individual — not just for her achievements or her singular name, but because she inspires generations through food made with love, technique, and intuition.
