Episode Details

A Puerto Rican baker turned Napa sensation, Veronica Licha Lopez is redefining fortune cookies with bold global flavors—from espresso and Vietnamese coffee to piña and parcha—plus savory twists like truffle mushroom and pizza. After being laid off from Apple, she pivoted to culinary school, launched her brand Por Suerte Cookies (“by luck”), and teamed up with local wineries and ice cream shops for wild creations like wine-infused cookies and fortune cookie ice cream sandwiches. She’s even got a pet-friendly version and offers custom fortunes, edible glitter, and wedding seating charts. Praised for her hustle and cultural pride, Lopez dreams of opening a Puerto Rican restaurant to keep sharing her vibrant food story.
