CARLOS SARMIENTO - FOOD, WINE AND MORE.

For years, I have served as a helpful role to those seeking inspiration, help, or advice. In 2020, I finally decided to own that role and be intentional about it. I started writing about my passions, my thoughts, and curious wonderings about our society. 
I founded Carlos’ Food & Wine with a mission to give others a taste of what goes on in my mind, what inspires me and to share in the flavors we find in our cultures. 
Let’s get cooking! Cheers!

For this new recipe and wine pair posting I am reintroducing a classic pomodoro (tomato) sauce but changing slightly its preparation method. Additionally, I am introducing the wonderful calamarata pasta, which is a thick ring pasta that resembles sliced calamari. Let‘s get cooking! Menu: Sicilian Calamarata pasta with Pomodo

Uniting the best of French and Italian cuisines into one completely vibrant gastronomic experience. (Photo: Carlos Sarmiento) I have been blessed to have lived in several countries throughout my youth and in those key formative years, I was able to experience plenty of travel, particularly throughout Europe, leaving beautifully searing memories.
