In partnership with Billboard and DoorDash, the Argentinian singer solves her cravings for home by cooking vegetarian guiso and highlights how, through food and culture, music has no boundaries.
MarÍa Becerra:
I have always felt that there is a world full of opportunities. Starting the journey toward new horizons makes me feel like I can discover new sides of myself, both as an artist and as a person. When you stay in your comfort zone, it’s like you hit a ceiling, and at some point, it becomes necessary to go where things are happening. I believe Miami is essential for me, not only on a personal level but also professionally. I feel like it has allowed me to improve significantly. I have created most of my songs in Miami. Overall, it is a place that inspires me a lot. Traditional food holds a very special place in my heart. Every dish I cook, I enjoy it. It connects me to my roots and reminds me where I come from. Even when I’m far from home, the flavors and recipes always keep me connected to my culture and my family. I always order groceries through DoorDash because they have all the ingredients I need to make my Argentine recipes. The stew. The asado, which is also something really iconic in Argentina, and the milanesas. I’m a big fan of tortas fritas. When you’re having a bad day, it’s raining or whatever, and some tortas fritas make everything better. It really reminds me of my childhood. I truly believe there is an important connection between food and the creative process. For example, mate is a must during studio sessions, and sharing a meal while enjoying mate is key for me in my connection to food.
