Hi, I’m Sofia
I’m Sofia García, 33, born in Valencia, Spain, now living in Miami, Florida where my kitchen opens up to the sounds of city life. My childhood was steeped in the aroma of saffron rice, sizzling chorizo, and the laughter of extended family around a long table.
My Story
Paella Sundays were non-negotiable in our household, and I learned early on that food has the power to gather hearts. Those vibrant Valencian afternoons, with the whole family gathered around the paella pan, taught me that cooking isn’t just about nourishment—it’s about creating moments that become treasured memories.
“Sofía, mi amor, the secret to good paella is patience and passion. Cook with your heart, and everyone will taste the love.”
— Abuela Carmen
When I became a mother, I wanted to create those same moments for my family. I began simplifying traditional recipes for weeknight ease without sacrificing flavor or soul. Moving from Valencia to Miami brought new inspirations, but my heart still beats to the rhythm of Spanish cooking—vibrant, generous, and full of life.
My cooking is a dance between past and present—classic tortilla Española made with love and speed, tapas nights that feel like mini celebrations, and desserts that bring wide eyes and satisfied sighs. I believe every meal should tell a story, whether it’s a quick weeknight dinner or a leisurely weekend feast.
For home cooks and families, I offer not just recipes, but rituals. Let’s bring back the joy of lingering at the table, of sharing plates and stories. Because in the end, the best meals are the ones that bring us together and remind us that we belong to something beautiful.
Beyond the Kitchen
When I’m not cooking, you’ll find me exploring Miami’s vibrant neighborhoods, searching for the perfect Spanish olives and Manchego cheese, or teaching my children to dance salsa in our living room. I love how Miami’s multicultural energy reminds me of the warmth and passion of Valencia—both cities understand that life is meant to be celebrated. We often host tapas nights for friends, turning our terrace into a little slice of Spain where stories flow as freely as the sangria.
