About Paola Velez & Bodega Bakes:  Growing up in the Bronx, Paola Velez’s happy place was the bodega, a unique world full of color and flavor where the shelves were stocked with everything from M&M’s to Muenster cheese to majarete (Caribbean corn pudding)—and, of course, its own cat (IYKYK). Before she was a James Beard–nominated chef, Cherry Bombe cover girl, social media darling, and cofounder of the grassroots social action network Bakers Against Racism, Paola was a bodega kid with a taste for Warheads, Hostess cupcakes, ice pops, and Malta soda.    Paola's debut cookbook Bodega Bakes transforms cherished Dominican snacks, bodega finds into irresistible and visuallly stunning baking recipes that celebrates her heritage and the ingredients (including chocolate) that have inspired her.
