My grandparents, my muses ✨ Campesino is an homage to where we came from and in essence a central experience shared by all people ~ through food we can connect with each other in profound ways. Cooking paella is symbolic of this. A simple yet transformative dish, cooked as it has been for centuries; outside, over an open fire, smoke billowing, surrounded by eager hungry participants. Rustic and soulful. Poetic and humble. This is the food of our people ~ Sicilian, Spanish, Moorish heritage handed down through generations ~ Never forgetting that we are our ancestors wildest dreams and that we are part of a continuum with no beginning and no end.
✨🙏✨
Thank you, Chachi & Papa Don.
