Who's Zela?

Zelinda was Laura's grandmother. Everyone called her Zela. Her kitchen in Turiúba, a small town in the state of São Paulo, was always full of the smell of fresh bread, cakes and pastries. Laura learned to cook at her side.

“Every recipe we make carries a piece of her. Food is love you can see.”

— Laura
