  • I’m Kristal, the cocinera behind Clay Cantina. My love for Mexican food began 18 years ago on a journey through Mexico and Central America, where I trained at a family-run cooking school in Tepoztlán and learned the foundations of ancestral cuisine. Since then, I’ve opened restaurants on the southern Gold Coast, run festival catering, handmade my own cooking tools, and taught countless classes. For me, it’s about authentic flavours, hands-on learning, and the joy of gathering around the table.
