We're so happy to introduce Chef Elizabeth Marcano & Sazón Latin Flavors who will be popping up at the farm several times this summer!
She'll be serving pastelitos and tequenos at our Riesling Release Party & Venezuelan Pop-Up this Sunday, June 14 from noon until they're sold out. Music at 1:00pm by Matt Sucaet.
Well let Elizabeth introduce herself in her own words ⬇️
I was born in Caracas, Venezuela, and originally trained as an architect at the Central University of Venezuela. After running my own architecture firm, life brought me to Ann Arbor, Michigan in 2003—where everything changed.
What began as cooking for family and friends became my true calling. With the support of my husband, Scott, I pursued Culinary Arts, launched My Kitchen Gourmet, and later opened Marcano’s Take Out—the first Venezuelan restaurant in the area.
After moving north, I continued my journey and found a home at Providence Farm in Central Lake, Michigan. There, I not only helped shape the daily menu with my personal touch—bringing flavors like Tres leches, quesillo and cachitos, beloved Venezuelan staples— as well as breakfast items, but I also began hosting farm-to-table dinners, a dream I had always carried. These dinners were inspired by Venezuelan and South American cuisine, allowing me to share my roots, traditions, and flavors in a meaningful way.
Through those experiences, I discovered how much I love connecting people through food and culture.
Today, through Sazón Latin Flavors, I offer cooking classes, private dining, personal chef services, and catering—always showcasing the vibrant, soulful flavors of Venezuela and South America.
This work is deeply personal to me. It reflects my journey, my heritage, and my belief that food is one of the most beautiful ways to connect people.
My mission is simple: to connect people through food, culture, and unforgettable experiences.
