Stories & Flavors | Clarita’s Cocina | An Afternoon with Melissa María Sink

Clarita García’s recipes have brought families together and connected generations for decades. Her beloved cookbook, Clarita’s Cocina, captured the flavors of Spain while reflecting the warmth of family life in Tampa.

On this special morning at the historic Centro Asturiano de Tampa, her granddaughter, Melissa María Sink, will share Clarita’s legacy through an engaging conversation and live cooking demonstration. Guests will discover the stories behind the recipes, the traditions carried through the kitchen, and the flavors that continue to shape our community.

This is more than a cooking event—it is a celebration of culture, memory, and the ties that food creates between generations.
