Before getting into the food industry, Elizabeth Guerra spent 10 years working with Thomas Lighting as a lighting consultant to electrical engineers and architects. She spent most of her spare time in the kitchen, cooking birthday dinners for friends and colleagues. When she transferred from Ohio to Miami in 1998, she decided to work with food full time, and opened Relish Miami Catering last year.

Though she hasn’t had formal culinary training, Guerra hones her techniques and keeps up with trends by reading food magazines and her collection of more than 300 cookbooks, and by taking one-off cooking classes at Miami-Dade College. “There’s a difference between studying and working,” says Guerra. “If you don’t have the right palate and sensibility about food, it doesn’t matter how much you study under another chef—you’ll be a great technical cook, but not necessarily a great chef.” MORE >>
