About Us

Our exciting story unfolds in the city of Asunción, Paraguay, where our culinary dreams first took shape 15 years ago.

From humble beginnings, our establishment blossomed into the extraordinary haven known as La Cocinera. However, like many businesses, we faced unprecedented challenges during the pandemic that significantly altered our course. Fueled by determination and a deep passion for our craft, we made the bold decision to embark on a new chapter that led us to the vibrant city of New York in the United States.

Very Cook, a dream come true!

Today, we stand before you with hearts full of gratitude for the support and love that have guided us to where we are now. Very Cook is more than just a bakery shop; it is a living testament to the power of dreams, unwavering dedication, and the incredible bonds that form within a community.

In this new horizon in New York, our passion for cooking and pastry continues to burn brightly, and we look forward to sharing our love for food with you in ways we had never imagined before.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks for being an integral part of our story and for being the driving force that propels us to keep growing and reaching new heights on this exciting journey. Thank you for being an essential component of our path and for allowing us to share our culinary adventure with you.

Finding a delicious empanada in NY is a breeze, but discovering one that pairs exceptional flavors with top-notch customer service is a true gem. Very Cook has it all! The beef and chicken empanadas here are a culinary delight. Their flavors are nothing short of spectacular. These empanadas are not just food; they are a labor of love, and their authenticity and taste are unparalleled. My favorite was the beef empanada, where the meticulous craftsmanship and quality ingredients shone through with every bite. And it's not just the empanadas; their bakery offerings are equally irresistible. Be sure to indulge in the brigadeiro chocolate cake, a dessert that's bound to be a delightful surprise - you can thank me later!
