About

Welcome to Spoons and Trails

Hello, I'm Marina Soto, the chef behind Spoons and Trails, your go-to destination for tailored dining experiences in Park City, Utah. My journey in the culinary world has been a blend of rich traditions, a passion for food, and a dedication to creating memorable moments through my dishes.

My Culinary Journey

Born and raised in the vibrant city of Valparaiso, Chile, I was immersed in a culinary culture that celebrates simple, yet flavorful dishes. From a young age, I found joy in cooking for family and friends, a joy that eventually led me to pursue a career in the culinary arts.

Self-Taught Excellence

As a self-taught chef, I’ve dedicated countless hours to mastering the art of cooking. My skills have been honed through hands-on experience, experimentation, and a relentless pursuit of culinary excellence. This self-driven approach has allowed me to develop a unique style that combines traditional techniques with my personal flair.

Philosophy and Inspiration

I believe that the most flavorful dishes are created in the company of good friends and family, not rushed, but savored while sharing stories and laughter. For me, cooking is an emotional experience where good energy and positive vibes are as essential as the ingredients themselves.

Beyond the Kitchen

When I'm not in the kitchen, I indulge in my love for food photography and reading. These hobbies not only fuel my creativity but also enhance the visual and aesthetic appeal of my dishes.

Professional Credentials

I am proud to hold a Nutrition Coach Certification and a ServSafe Manager Certification, ensuring that my culinary practices meet the highest standards of safety and nutritional excellence.
