Pictured are Keeko, Cecilia and Juan Carlos
Juan Carlos VIllaveces Duran with his wife (Stefka) daughter (Cecilia Hortencia), and mother (Cecilia Villaveces) bring a rich tradition of farming and cooking from Colombia, South America, to Athens, GA.
World recipes like: empanadas, baklava, samosas, spanakopetas, milk doughnuts, cinnamon rolls, and tarts, find new distinct flavors and expression.
We also feature the artisan breads of Alfredo Moreno. Alfredo brings a family tradition of bread making from Mexico and makes organic hand-made sour breads, and other baked goods, without commercial yeasts. At EMPANADERIA and Other Favorite Things we use fresh, organic, local market produce as the basis for our delicious empanadas. We are proud of our family homestead and we offer food that we eat and produce with our own hands.
