My name is Ana, and I am Valentina’s mother.
After my pregnancy, I felt a strong desire and urge to put soul and meaning into everything I do. I started studying gastronomy at SENAC, and it became inevitable to transition from the corporate world to my true passion—the Art of Cooking.

In 2015, I opened MarujosBar in one of the most beautiful places I have ever been: Arraial do Cabo, RJ. It was a small restaurant with an open kitchen facing the sea, offering a small menu that changed almost daily. This experience brought me immense joy, challenges, and valuable lessons.

In 2018, I returned to São Paulo and began working in prestigious restaurants and hotels, with the goal of bringing professional gastronomy into people’s homes in a simple and accessible way. My mission is to help those seeking a healthy, balanced, and flavorful diet amid the hustle and bustle of daily life.

We also offer a Vegan Menu, where all ingredients are plant-based.
Our concept is all about quality, flavor, and practicality!

I admire the art of gastronomy and how a kitchen is orchestrated like a grand symphony. I come from a family of cooks—I grew up in the kitchen, learning and often getting scolded by my mother, who is an excellent cook.

For ten years, I worked as an Executive Secretary, but my heart spoke louder, leading me to embrace my true calling: cooking.
