Free RegistrationWhat has inspired me to open? This business would be my grandma. She has spent her whole life in the kitchen, cooking traditional, savory, sweets, and comfort food for the family. As a little girl, I watched her cooking all these beautiful yet delicious meals and I always had a determination to be identical to her. Something that was just a curiosity turned into a passion and determination to show the community what Brazilian cuisine is.
How do you stay motivated?I get motivated with the people in the community interested in learning more about the cuisine. And in addition, I also get motivated by my family supporting me and this journey, as well as pursuing my passion.
