About Me: As a Contributing Recipe Developer for Delish, Maria develops and tests recipes that take her back to her roots in New Orleans. Her most popular Delish recipes include Cheesy Chicken and Pepper Bake and Instant Pot Jamabalaya. Maria's blog, Murmurs of Ricotta, boasts some of Google’s top-ranked Southern recipes, including her renowned Mardi Gras King Cake, which gained viral acclaim in 2021 for its spot-on homemade rendition of a beloved classic. She's contributed recipes for Food Network, Kitchn, among others. These days, Maria cooks from her cozy home in the heart of San Francisco. Beyond the kitchen, she loves speaking gibberish to her 1-year-old goddaughter and spending way too much time at the park.
