About Me

Our Story: From a Small Eatery to Our Online Kitchen
They say a a smell can bring back a memory. For us, that memory is the scent of fresh bread and warm spices from our father Albert Garcia's little eatery, right by the traveler's station. Our father named it "Varied Recipes" because he believed that a good life was built on diverse, wholesome meals. He taught us, me, Clara (42), and my sister Emily (39), to cook with our hearts. He showed us that a recipe is more than just ingredients; it's a story.

But life had other plans. After our father's passing, our family paths diverged. We each started our own families, finding new ways to live and love. I had two daughters, and Emily built a beautiful life of her own. Though our lives were busy, the shared passion and the dream we had with our father never faded.

One day, Emily and I reconnected, and the bond we had as sisters was stronger than ever. We decided that it was time to honor our father's legacy not just for us, but to light the same torch for our children. We created this website, named "Varied Recipes" after our father's original shop, to continue his journey and bring his recipes to the world.

This website isn't just a collection of recipes; it's a piece of our childhood home. It's our way of telling our story through the food he taught us to make, and a way to pass this passion down to the next generation.

I am Clara, with my two daughters, and my sister Emily. We invite you to join our family. As you explore our pages, you'll discover not just recipes, but the love and passion that our father Albert gave to us.

Welcome to Varied Recipes.
