Claudia Rocabado and the origin of a culinary passion rooted in family heritage. Claudia Rocabado has turned her passion into a true entrepreneurial adventure, drawing the very essence of her craft from her family in Cuba. It was the time spent in the family kitchen with her grandmother, and later with her parents, that forged her deep connection to food, far from it being merely a means of subsistence. For her, food was a way to build relationships, to pass on a cultural heritage, and to bring people together. This strong human connection fostered by food forms the foundation of The Roost, which, far from being simply a place to eat, is a vibrant space for sharing and experiencing emotions. For Claudia, the pleasure of cooking is not just a technical skill; it’s a true language of expression. Her recipes are passed down like private stories, fragments of family memories that awaken the senses and rekindle memories. His signature Latin rotisserie recipe, particularly the roast chicken, is the result of months of research and meticulous adjustments to achieve the perfect balance between tenderness and crispy skin, enveloped in characteristic Latin aromas. Each dish he offers embodies a further step in this rediscovery and celebration of culinary heritage. This spontaneous transmission of know-how is part of a broader context: a return to roots and a renewed appreciation for Latin American cuisine in the modern world. Through her approach, Claudia also reflects the image of an ambitious female entrepreneur who juggles managing her personal life—including raising her twins—with the demands of a dynamic business. Family support is a true strength here, a perfect illustration of the inseparable alliance between work and private life, in which love and rigor coexist to ensure the success of this wonderful venture.
