Ingrid Hoffmann

Ingrid Hoffmann is passionate about food and entertaining and spends each day sharing her enthusiasm and talent with an international audience. She hosts three national shows, including Simply Delicioso and the Spanish-language shows, Delicioso and Un Minuto Delicioso, both on Galavision/Univision. She is also the author of SIMPLY DELICIOSO: A Collection of Everyday Recipes with a Latin Twist. In 2010, Ingrid unleashed an array of culinary projects from a new cookware line to a Miami-based restaurant on wheels and is gearing up for one of her biggest years yet.

Ever the businesswoman, Ingrid has expanded her brand beyond television and launched her own cookware line on HSN, Simply Delicioso with Ingrid Hoffmann by T-Fal. The line includes a Paella Pan, Stockpot, various-sized Calderos and even a 12-piece set. Also available on HSN, Ingrid partnered with Furi to create her own cutlery and kitchen accessories, including a 3-Piece Cutlery set w/ Case, 3-Piece Kitchen Gadget Set and a Sharp Knife Sharpener. Both her T-Fal and Furi lines have been tremendously successful and are paving the way for additional lines in the future.

In January, Ingrid helped to launch one of Miami's first gourmet food trucks, Latin Burger and Taco. The all black and pink truck can be found via Twitter and Facebook and like the name implies, the menu consists of gourmet burgers and tacos, including the famous Latin Macho, a burger made of chorizo, chuck & sirloin and topped with Oaxaca cheese.

Ingrid's fascination with food, cooking and style began as a little girl. She started cooking with her mother, a Cordon Bleu chef, at such a young age that she needed a stool to reach the stove. She discovered not only a love of cooking, but a flair for entertaining, and in no time developed her own distinctive style.

Raised in Colombia and the Netherlands, Ingrid moved to Miami where she opened La Capricieuse, a high fashion luxury boutique in Coconut Grove. Ingrid also opened Rocca, the first restaurant to feature tabletop cooking on heated lava rocks. Her success in the Miami food world led her to land a deal for her own cooking show, Delicioso with Ingrid Hoffmann. The show first launched in Latin America 2004 with Hearst Entertainment and began airing on the #1 Spanish language network Galavision in 2006. That same year, Ingrid appeared on the Martha Stewart Show and the Food Network called soon after. Her cooking show Simply Delicioso was born and premiered in 2007. She currently has a monthly column in People en Espanol and is a regular guest on the #1 Spanish language morning show Despierta America. Ingrid has also made appearances on Ellen, Oprah, The Bonnie Hunt Show, Martha Stewart, Regis & Kelly, The Today Show, The Early Show, and Good Morning America.

Ingrid's success has afforded her the opportunity to give back to the community. She is currently a board member of New York City's Food and Education Fund and Miami's Amigos for Kids, as well as an active supporter of Manhattan's Food and Finance High School, Believe for Colombia Foundation and the Humane Society of Greater Miami.
