Our traditional empanada was created half a century ago by my grandmother, Olga or ‘Coca’ as we used to call her. She is the one who deserves all the praise for this delicious recipe. My grandmother was born and raised in Santiago, Chile in 1920. She used to love cooking and one of her best meals was her beef empanadas. This is the recipe that was passed down to my mother and later to me. At The Empanada Shop – Authentically Chilean, we seek to provide our customers with the same enjoyable experience my family has when eating empanadas. We want our customers to feel the love and care we put into our empanadas. We know you will fall in love with the taste. After two generations, and after immigrating to Canada over 30 years ago, I know our Coca is smiling knowing that we decided to bring her delicious recipe to life and share it with people almost 9000km away from our homeland. I believe this is one of the best ways to honour her.
