About Lorena

Lorena is Brazilian and, since moving to Ciudad del Este, she noticed what so many people in the region were feeling: missing real Brazilian food. That is how, 3 years ago, her personal cook service was born — and it never stopped.

From the week’s meal prep to the Sunday barbecue, she prepares everything in your home, with the care of someone cooking for the ones she loves. Fish, stews, meats, salads, sweets and cakes: every family has its own seasoning — her job is to find yours.

Client testimonials

I hired Lorena to prep the week’s meals for my family. She arrived on time, left everything organized, and the food tasted just like homemade. It’s become our routine!

Mariana C.Foz do Iguaçu

She cooked Sunday lunch for 10 people: barbecue, salads and dessert. It was a hit, and I finally got to enjoy my guests instead of spending the day in the kitchen.

Ricardo A.Ciudad del Este

Real Brazilian food, the kind I missed. The beans, the fluffy rice, the birthday cake... Lorena turns our kitchen into grandma’s house.
