Born and raised in northwest Argentina, entrepreneur Jezabel Careaga has had a passion for cooking from a very young age. Jezabel was raised by her grandmother Julia. They developed a strong bond in the kitchen making bread, peeling potatoes, and making pasta. At the age of five, she remembers helping her mother baking alfajores enthusiastically. As a teenager, she became obsessed with “El Panadero y el Pastelero” (The Baker and Confectioner), a cooking show that highlighted Argentine sweet treats. After going to school for Tourism & Hotel Management, and with an MBA program under her belt, in 2007 she pursued opportunities at the Loews Miami Beach hotel in Miami.
In the summer of 2010, she embraced the opportunity to share her treasured recipes in Philadelphia with the opening of Jezabel’s (formally Gavin’s Café), located at the corner of 26th and Pine Streets in the Fitler Square neighborhood. While Jezabel strives every day to deliver the taste of Argentina from her childhood, her culinary influences extend beyond her traditional cooking and she seeks to fuse global flavors. She is currently stepping into a new chapter of her career as she launches her new venture, Jezabel’s Studio, in West Philadelphia. Jezabel meticulously designed and furnished the space herself. At the studio you can sip some tea and relax, attend cooking classes, and also purchase her beautiful wood crafts.
