Isabel Coss

A remarkable opening night to Culinary Masters in New Orleans. Chefs from across the country came together at Chemin à la Mer for an evening shaped by collaboration, precision, and a deep appreciation for the city’s culinary spirit. From the kitchen to the dining room, every course reflected a distinct point of view—brought together over one unforgettable dinner. 📷: @marcpagani

Del campo al antro 🫒 Love you Philly, Love you @alexslemonade , Love all this beautiful people!

Today is an excellent opportunity to reinvent ourselves. “If we are not, we make ourselves so.” Whole new dinner menu at Pascual, brand new brunch menu too, new energy, same love.

When I died bury me like a taco de canasta please.

I was honored yesterday to receive The Mentor award by @starchefs for Maryland, DC and Virginia, and to celebrate the well deserved accolades of Rising Chefs to Ana Sofía and Jason. I do a lot of self analyzing constantly asking Why am I doing this? What do I really want to do? But again and again cooking is just something I Need To Do. It brings me joy. In the long run, what you’ll remember is what you put out there and weather people will connect with it, if it brought a spark of creativity, joy, hope, a sense of community and peace. That’s how I try to see this craft, I create, imagine, and give it physical form through cooking and with a team, always with friends, I never walk this path alone, I surround myself with people that inspires me and I’m thankful that the feeling is mutual and that some call me a mentor. Thank you all, means the world 🙏

We cook, we dance, let’s roll!. Pascualito dump, because new menu is coming so soon…

Love the snow, despice ICE ⛄️

Gator Semifreddo flavored with shiso, mint, honeydew and lots of Midori🍈 🐊 for @strangedelight.nyc in support of @islaimmigration

Un invierno en Nueva York 🗽 •Cooking with @ed.z.szymanski at @dame_nyc with mariachis playing on the back topped every service I’ve ever worked at period. Ed and Patricia spoiled us to dinner at @crevette_nyc the night before and feed us the most delicious agnolottis filled with crab the softest tortilla española and a whole dugones crab 🦀 for this crab! Food and vibes at Dame were perfect cooking with @anabanana_castro is like a dance we’ve done in every past life. How did I get so lucky to find a friend who gives me that much creative freedom and joy? Truly unfair. •Next day: @strangedelight.nyc to cook two specials for their Live, Laugh, Loaf raising money for @islaimmigration in NOLA a city I love, want to support and can’t get of my mind. The menu? Ridiculous sooo delicious @hamegram is one of the smartest chefs I have ever met and cook with, he’s just so good at it and fun and you can taste all that. Talk about 2016 throwback my camera roll is full of Ham sandwiches, milk bread and hand piped sprinkles together. I was so inspired by the art @anooppillarisetti has at Strange delight but the biggest piece of art in that space is of course the superstar @comme_ci_comme_salmon ! •Last day we had THE power lunch at @leveaudor to stuffed our faces with Pâté en croûte, mackerel au vin blanc, martinis and bathroom selfies. Not a bad weekend at all, not a bad beginning of the year, blessed my friends that make me the luckiest happiest crab! 🦀

We are so back, baby. #LiveLaughLoaf ❄️ the winter edition ❄️ officially commences next week with our dear friends @anabanana_castro and @chabelacoss - we’ll be running a collaborative loaf *and* a dessert special next Tuesday through Thursday ~all night long~ (or while supplies last). Stay tuned for the big menu reveal in the coming days but reservations are live, and walk-ins are always welcome. Most importantly! Proceeds from each item’s sales will benefit @islaimmigration , which was founded to provide legal and immigration services to people in detention centers in Louisiana.

¡Pero qué bonito la pasamos en @rubra.mx celebrando el aniversario! Ballenas, zarandeados, amigos, raicilla, abrazos, Puerto Rico en la casa, tacos de cabeza, Tat DJ, amor, tatuajes, pitorro de coco, muchísimo talento y corazón. Gracias por la invitación. Cocinar con Dani, Estefi, Val y Blaine una vez más siempre llena el corazón, y gracias al equipo de Rubra por armar la mejor mejor pachanga. ¡Por muchos años más! ♥️ @carolinatorres.ph 📷

Savory churro, flavored with smoked parsnip, gooseberries jam, aged parmigiano reggiano and spoonful of golden osettra caviar. You want it? Pascual got it tonight! 😄
