Tomorrow I fly home. Today I went to meet my great-grandfather for the first time.
He’s buried in Pere- Lachaise. He is the reason I have this love of Paris in my bones - the reason French has always sounded like a language I should already know.
I brought Carolina’s notebook. My Colombian grandmother, and me meeting my French great-grandfather.
Some debts you can only pay by showing g up.
Is there an ancestor whose place you’ve never visited but always meant to?

You don’t come to Paris just to cook.
Roland Garros. Twice this trip. Once before Burgundy, once after. Tennis and cooking have more in common than people think- both are about timing, about the moment you commit, about refusing to rush.
Carolina a would have love this. She never sat still long enough to watch a match. But she would have loved the way Paris dresses up for something it cares about.
Tonight the city wins.
What is something you love that has nothing to do with what you’re known for?

I have wanted to walk into this kitchen for many year’s.
The Cook’s Atelier, a cooking school in Beaune, France run by a mother and daughter duo. Two women in one kitchen, cooking through generations.

I didn’t have the chance to take a cooking class today. Sometimes the dream isn’t the door. It’s knowing the door is real.
One day I am coming back. With Carolina’s notebook in my bag and a class booked.
- see you soon.

A few beautiful days in Beaune, Burgundy 🇫🇷🍷

Strolling through charming streets, sharing great food and wine with dear friends, listening to jazz, and soaking in the magic of this special corner of France. Moments like these always make me think about my French roots and the stories that came before me.

Good friends, unforgettable conversations, a few perfect glasses of Burgundy, and memories I’ll carry home with me. ❤️

Until next time, Beaune.

A little taste of Beaune

Walking through the charming streets of downtown Beaune, I couldn’t help but think about my grandmother, Carolina. She loved good food, beautiful places, and gathering around a table with family and friends—she would have absolutely loved this town.

A perfect afternoon enjoying what might be the best Negroni in town at Le Cep, followed by an evening of music at the jazz festival. And of course, ending the day with my favorite travel companion ❤️

Some places simply make you slow down, savor the moment, and appreciate life’s simple pleasures.

Her city was small. Today, her notebook is in Paris.
There is something about taking a thing your grandmother held and putting it somewhere she never imagined. It feels like cheating death a little.
I keep opening the notebook in places she would have loved. A cafe table,a balcony with rooftops below.
Is there an object you carry that belonged to someone you love?

In Paris you don’t shop for groceries. You meet them.
This is my favorite kind of morning.
I keep thinking about my grandmother today. She would have loved this. Two grandparents, two countries, one kitchen.
Do you enjoy a farmers market or market day?

I’m here.
Paris in the morning feels like something I can’t quite name. Familiar in a way I don’t fully understand yet.
My grandfather was French. He walked this streets. Breathed this air. Ate this food.
And somehow - through him, through Carolina, every meal ever made in my family - I ended up here. With a Latin cookbook in my bag and French blood in my veins.
Let’s see what Paris teaches me.
Where should I take you first? What is a must food to try in Paris for Carolina?

Two grandparents. Two countries. One kitchen.
My grandmother was Colombian. She gave me her sazón without ever teaching me a recipe.
My grandfather was French. He gave me a love for Paris before I ever set foot there.
For most of my life my cooking was just…Self-taught. Then one day it clicked: I am the union of the two of them.
Tomorrow I’m taking Carolina’s notebook to Paris.

What’s the dish that holds your whole family?

My grandmother never taught me how to cook. She didn’t have to.
Her sazón lives in my hands.

In three days, I’m taking her notebook to Paris- to the country of my grandfather, to the city I’ve lived my whole life. I’m 57 years old, and finally starting something of my own.

This is Salt & Sabor. a Colombian grandmother. A French grandfather. One kitchen trying to hold them both.

Tell me- who gave you your sazón.
