Let's make this birthday one to remember.

46 years old (Born on July 19, 1978)

Happy birthday, Marcela Valladolid! May your day be filled with as much zest and flavor as the countless dishes you've shared with us. From effortlessly teaching us authentic Mexican cuisine on "Mexican Made Easy," to captivating viewers on "The Kitchen," you’ve spiced up screens coast-to-coast. Who knew guacamole could ever get such a loyal fanbase?

Congratulations on your continued success since publishing "Fresh Mexico," serving up 100 simple recipes for genuine Mexican flavor—not easy to keep it fresh fourteen years later, but somehow you make culinary artistry timeless! Cheers to another year of savory adventures sprinkled generously with laughter.
