My grandmother is originally from the Basque Country, Arantxa’s love for food and Basque cuisine has remained constant over the years. From her early days working with pre-cooked meals in a butcher’s shop to opening her own restaurant, she has shown dedication and skill in the culinary arts.

Through her restaurant, Arantxa has shared her passion for Basque cuisine with others, creating delicious dishes that reflect the rich gastronomic culture of the region. Her restaurant “Lagunak” what means friends in basque, has been a gathering place for those seeking to enjoy authentic Basque flavors and the warmth of her hospitality.

Although she is now retired, her love for cooking remains as strong as ever. Cooking for her family, who gather every day to enjoy her delicious creations, is a wonderful way to keep the family culinary tradition alive. With every meal she prepares, Arantxa shares a bit of her love, care, and culinary talent with all of us.

Her dedication to cooking and her ability to create delicious dishes have left an indelible mark on her family and on all those fortunate enough to taste her food. Her legacy as a chef and matriarch of the family kitchen will endure for generations, inspiring others to appreciate and enjoy the rich culinary heritage of the Basque Country.
