Tati Polo has transitioned from a successful model and synchronized swimmer to a celebrated chef, specializing in healthy Latinx cuisine.
Nestlé Global Brands collaborated with Tati Polo, a Venezuelan chef, along with other rising Latino chefs, to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with a focus on Latino flavors.
Born and raised in Venezuela, Tati Polo was involved in athletics from a young age, becoming a competitive synchronized swimmer on her National Team. This experience allowed her to travel internationally and gain exposure to diverse cultures and culinary traditions. Following her athletic career, Polo pursued modeling and participated in the Miss Venezuela pageant, appearing in various magazines, calendars, and runway shows.
Her true passion, however, lay in cooking. Polo graduated with honors from the elite Le Cordon Bleu program at the California School of Culinary Arts. After completing her culinary education, she identified an opportunity to combine her cooking expertise with the creation of healthy, delicious recipes tailored for Latinx audiences, focusing on traditional flavors with health benefits. This led her to establish her own company, Forkplate Productions, which offers catering services, event planning, and culinary classes.
Polo has developed a significant following through her digital platforms, including her Instagram account, where she shares tutorials, recipes, and insights into her daily life and food preparation. She also gained recognition for her popular show “SALADLAND with Tati Polo” on Univision. Her segment “Un Taco de Ojo con Tati Polo” received nominations for an Emmy and a Tecla Award, acknowledging her contributions as a food content creator.
