Hi, I'm Sara!

Welcome to my blog, and thank you for your support. I hope you stay a while and enjoy my recipes and stories. I live in Woodstock, Georgia with my husband Jason, my teenage son Samuel, and our beloved and goofiest Chocolate Labrador Rosalia.


Have you ever wondered what Sofrito is? Sofrito is a basic preparation in Mediterranean, Latin American, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese cooking. It typically consists of aromatic ingredients (onions, garlic, peppers, celery, carrots, cilantro, parsley, green onions, shallots) cut into small pieces and sautéed or braised in cooking oil over low heat."


Sofrito is the most flavorful way to start a recipe. It serves as a robust foundation upon which to build a dish. Every time you add sofrito ingredients to the pan with oil, the aromas immediately tantalize the senses, leaving everyone around hungry and eagerly anticipating the next step of the cooking process. A Sofrito is the heartbeat of a dish, the soul of a recipe. 
That's the power of Sofrito!

About me...

I was born in Caracas, Venezuela to a Spaniard mom (from Tenerife, Canary Islands) and a Dominican dad. My ancestry is diverse, with roots stretching across Sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean Islands of Cuba and the Dominican Republic (including Indigenous and Afro-Caribbean heritage), and the Iberian Peninsula.
Yes! I'm a Super mutt! LOL.

My recipes

Are a celebration of diversity and heritage.

Growing up in a South American humble home, I often faced the challenge of creating flavorful meals with limited ingredients. These experiences ignited my creativity and passion for cooking, shaping the diverse and heritage-inspired recipes that now tell the story of my culinary journey.

​

Sofrito meet South when I immigrated to Georgia in 2016. Instantly, I was captivated by the warmth of Southern hospitality and the soul-soothing cuisine that defines this region. It was here that Sofrito found a new home in my heart, infusing every dish with memories of home and the flavors of my upbringing.

Welcome to a world where every bite tells a story.
A world of Sofrito magic!

As a self-proclaimed lover of all things decadent, I must confess – I have a sweet tooth that knows no bounds. I will be sharing some of my dessert recipes as well, especially the ones evoking memories and moments from my earliest days in the kitchen alongside my mom.

Together, we forged a bond over our shared love for sweets that continues to inspire me to this day.
