Recipes
I was born in the kitchen… I had a blessed childhood. My paternal grandfather was a professional cook and my grandmother had dishes that the entire neighborhood fell in love with. On my mother’s side, cooking was a therapy, a ceremony, a party, so I decided to make a fusion of my grandparents’ passions. Here you will find recipes inspired by my family, my trips around the world and dishes that have inspired me. The secret is very simple: the kitchen doesn’t bite. Yes, you can eat everything, but fresh, with balance, and to live a healthier life, you have to cook more at home with fresh ingredients. It is the only place where we can control what we eat.
Chicken Curry Empanadas
Creamy Cheese with Jamon Consorcio Serrano, Roasted Tomatoes and Herbs

Huevos Rotos de Yuca, Jamon and Chimichurri
Mushrooms Al Cava with Crispy Jamón Consorcio Serrano
Pasta in Creamy Yogurt Avocado Sauce
