About Chef Lola Caserola

Hola! My name is Adriana Casiano and I am a Puerto Rican chef with 12 years of experience turning fresh ingredients into unforgettable moments. I’ve cooked my way from sunny Florida to the sun-soaked beaches of Vieques, where I served as head chef at a boutique hotel, to private kitchens and luxury retreats, always driven by a deep love for flavor, adventure, and connection.

I believe food is more than just fuel – it’s a passport to distant places, a bridge between cultures, and a way to tell stories without saying a word. My cooking is a dance of fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and thoughtful touches, inspired by my roots and the world around me.

But beyond the flavors and techniques, my approach to cooking is deeply intuitive – a practice of listening to ingredients, trusting my instincts, and creating dishes that nourish both body and spirit. I believe food should honor the natural rhythms of life, making you feel as vibrant as it tastes.

From multi-course dinners that feel like a personal chef’s kiss to virtual cooking classes that invite you to play with your food, I create experiences that go beyond the plate, encouraging you to slow down, savor the moment, and connect deeply with what you’re eating.

When I’m not in the kitchen, you can find me wandering local markets, perfecting my craft, or dreaming up my next culinary adventure – because, for me, life is best lived one delicious, mindful bite at a time.

Let’s make something unforgettable together.

I am eager to engage in more projects that align with agriculture, sustainability, and community. The connection between fresh, organic produce and environmental stewardship is vital. I believe there is great potential for innovative projects that emphasize local sourcing, seasonal cooking, and the importance of community-supported agriculture. I am particularly interested in exploring creative approaches to food preservation using high-quality, fresh ingredients rather than subpar substitutes. Collaborative efforts that highlight sustainable practices while celebrating local produce can inspire others and foster a stronger sense of community around food. I am open to diverse and creative suggestions for new projects that cultivate these values and encourage healthier, more sustainable food choices.
