It all started in Argentina in my Grandma's kitchen. Every Sunday, I remember creating cakes and dough for empanadas and picking up parsley from her garden to prepare our traditional Asado Criollo BBQ. I have had a vision of sharing my cooking for as long as I can remember, and now I have the opportunity to do so with the support of local entrepreneurs. For years, I had shared with family, friends and neighbors in DC my empanadas and chimichurri, which led me to start “Gaucho Ways”(gau·chow) to launch Summer 2025! We will begin sharing at farmers' markets and event stores, and eventually, we will be available in local stores!
My favorite quote:
“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”
