talented, working-class food entrepreneurs, primarily immigrant women and women of color, in building successful food businesses in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Our vision is that everyone will be able to make a living doing what they love to do.
We do this by providing access to an affordable commercial kitchen, business consulting through a network of industry volunteers and mentors, sales opportunities, and connections to capital.
Traditions and dreams... these are what being an immigrant is all about. I have lived in the United States for more than 30 years without losing my culture, language, sense of family, or Chilean customs. This has allowed me to adapt easily; I am richer because I am bicultural. People like me, who bring traditions and dreams from afar, contribute to the strength and resilience of this extraordinary place that is America. And traditions and dreams are exactly what La Cocina harvests, transforms, and offers to the community at large.
Food is a vital part of our lives. In most countries, and certainly in Latin America, the kitchen, or any place where food is prepared, is the soul of the home. My mother died recentlyshe was 97 years youngand left me a precious legacy: her recipes and her lifetime love of and curiosity about food. She taught me to use cookbooks as inspiration only; a true cook trusts her or his intuition, innovates, improvises, and can devise a meal with whatever is available in the moment. This is certainly true of most women who feed their families with scarce resources.
After my daughter Paula died, when I needed to pull myself out of darkness and despair, my mother came up with the idea of writing about the opposite of mourning: the joy of life. And thats how my book Aphrodite: A Memoir of the Senses came to be. Its about food and love, gluttony and lustthe only deadly sins that are worth the trouble.
Maybe this explains why I love La Cocina and the We Are La Cocina cookbook, which contains the distilled wisdom and experience of this extraordinary enterprise. I have been connected to La Cocina since its incubation, when Caleb Zigas came to my foundation in 2004 to tell us about a crazy project the community had envisioned: an industrial kitchen to empower low-income women of color, especially immigrants and refugees, to cook and market their products so that they can become financially independent. Although Caleb looked like a kidhe still doesI saw immediately the potential in the idea because, as a Latina, I can relate to cooking at a heart level. Often the memory of our extended families at the table sharing a meala tradition that usually takes a couple of hours or moreis all we have when we come to this country.
The dream was not so crazy after all. Leticia Landa joined La Cocina in 2008, and the organizations surprising growth continued. Today, it is the most important food organization in San Francisco, a city known for its excellent cuisine from all over the world. It has also enabled hundreds of women to start their own businesses. To see a group of women handling fresh ingredients, chopping, dressing, frying, baking, grilling, and gossiping happily in different languages is a feast for the senses. If you were to watch them, as I have, they might offer you a taste of their disheswhich hail from Latin America, Africa, South Asia, East Asia, the Middle East, and Europeand then you would discover the secret of their success: this is food prepared with love.
