For more than 40 years, Marcela Lovegrove has been dedicated to food styling, right from the beginning when this profession didn't even have a name to the present day, and it is an undeniable necessity in the advertising and publishing worlds. She has collaborated on advertising campaigns with international brands such as McDonald's, Burger King, Unilever, Kellogg's, McCain, and many more.
After so many years of hard work, she decided to dedicate herself to teaching and, since 2013, her main focus has been her courses and workshops where she shares all her experience and knowledge. She also has four seasons of her own TV show Recetas de Familia on the El Gourmet channel.

I have watched several Domestika courses, but this is my favorite. A lot of information tips and details are included in this course and they are explained with a lot of patience and experience. Marcela Lovegrove deserves a big round of applause. There are some words that do not make sense in the English translation, so I would suggest a better translation.
