These Tres Latinas, married to three “gringos”, love to cook and create new authentic dishes such as buffalo or “burger” arepas, creations that unite the American and Venezuelan cultures. Yosi, Eli, and Vero also maintain the tradition of their country by making well-known cheese tequeños with exquisite garlic sauce, meat and chicken empanadas, cheese cachapas, and the most traditional desserts such as quesillo and tres leches.
