What you need to know

Hispanics over index for enthusiasm toward cooking. Their enthusiasm is not only reflected in the time they spend in the kitchen, but in how they choose to spend that time and who they cook for. Their cooking approach is continually evolving and influenced by people close to them, as well as media (online and offline). Brands that understand the drivers behind Hispanic Cooking Enthusiasts’ passion may be in a better position to become part of their cooking routines.
