bold flavors, real protein

Latin food is protein food. Always has been.

The food your family cooked every Sunday was already doing the work. Sancocho, pernil, churrasco, niños envueltos. We did the math.

hi there

I'm Gaila. Dominican cook. Nutritionist. The woman who ran the numbers on her grandmother's recipes.

I grew up eating sancocho every Sunday and pernil at every celebration. Then I became an AFPA Certified Holistic Nutritionist. And I ran the numbers on every dish I grew up eating.

What I found changed everything. Sancocho has the amino acid profile your muscles need. Habichuelas and rice form a complete protein - something Western nutrition spent decades trying to understand. Sofrito is an anti-inflammatory base. Your abuela knew all of it without knowing any of it.

Whether you discovered Latin food last week or ate it every Sunday growing up. If you believe food should taste like something - welcome to the table.

Con Fuerza y Sazón
