Keyma Vasquez Montero Biography – Keyma Vasquez Montero Wiki
Keyma Vasquez Montero is a full-time mother who is a contestant in season 14 of MasterChef Australia. MasterChef will return for its 14th season in 2022. The format is to be known as Fans & Favourites and will feature 12 new contestants and 12 former contestants. The season is expected to premiere on April 18, 2022. She is a first-time contestant in the cooking reality television show.
Coming from the small Venezuelan town of Ciudad Guayana, she remembers every family gathering of her childhood centering around food. On weekends her grandparents, aunts, and cousins would gather and prepare big feasts with game meat on offer including turtle and spotted paca. Her grandparents were raised in coastal cities influenced by Trinidad and Tobago and the West Indies Caribbean Islands, so Keyma admits Caribbean styles still find their way into her dishes. With dreams of representing the Latin and Spanish community, she says her signature dish would cover several courses, empanadas, golfeados (cheesy rolls), reina pepiada arepas (chicken and avocado cornmeal cakes), chupe (chicken and corn soup) and to finish it off, torta tres leches (three milk cake).
With a love of the works created by Heston Blumenthal, Clare Smyth, and Gordon Ramsay, Keyma most enjoys cooking with acidic foods like passionfruit, guava, and tamarind. She enjoys reinventing dishes and presenting childhood classics in different ways, firmly believing rustic dishes and street food have a place on a fine dining menu. She loves to dance and work with her hands, and her hobbies include crocheting, sewing, and making origami. She also enjoys karaoke and playing board games with her family.
One day she would love to own her own restaurant featuring a rotating menu with Latin, Caribbean, and Australian flavors and influences. She would also like to write her own cookbook celebrating the dishes of her childhood.
