KARINA RIVERA

Originary from Mexico City and with 10 years of experience in notable hotels and bakeries. Chef Karina Rivera studied Culinary Arts but soon realized that her heart belonged to pastry. She got her first formal job as a pastry chef on Celebrity Cruises. After 1 year, an incredible opportunity arose to intern at the St Regis Hotel in Bar Harbor Miami. There her knowledge and passion for pastry grew to a new level. She soon became the head pastry chef at Bachour Bakery and Bistro and then the head pastry chef at Bachour Miami.
In 2019 she was a finalist in the Spring Baking Championship broadcast on the Food Network channel. Also in that year, a new path opened for her as head pastry chef at the Novikov restaurant.
In 2021 she was the winner of the Food Network program Alex vs America, competing against iron chef Alex Guarnaschelli.
Macarons have always been her specialty and fascination! In 2020, she founded her own company where she focuses on creating and selling seasonal macarons, consulting bakeries and restaurants, and also on in-person and online classes. “Teaching is something that I am completely passionate about. I seek to sweeten people's lives, whether with my knowledge or with my desserts.”
