Josephine Caminos Oría was born in the city of La Plata, Argentina, and raised Stateside from infancy on in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Gathering around a table large enough to sit her family of eight, plus two for her abuelos on her mom’s side, food and the sobremesa that accompanied it, was how Josephine learned to make sense of the world. Stories of where she came from, and the people she’d left behind, were served to Josephine during family sobremesas she savored like meals. Those tales nourished Josephine’s imagination and sense of self, setting the table for Josephine’s second act—a family and professional life focused around Argentine food and culture. It was in her early 40s, with five young children in tow, that Josephine took a chance on herself, leaving a C-level career to take a chance on a career in writing. Today, Josephine is the author of “Sobremesa: A Memoir of Food & Love in Thirteen Courses (Scribe Publishing, Co., May 2021) and the cookbook, “Dulce de Leche: Recipes, Stories, and Sweet Traditions” (Burgess Lea Press, February 2017). Today Josephine and Gastón are livin' la vida Low Country in Charleston, S.C., with their five children and two dogs, Andino and Avi (short for Avocado, of course). On the daily, Josephine is a luxury real estate specialist with St. Germain Properties. She is among the top 5% of Realtors in Charleston, SC who services the Low Country area from Awendaw, Mt Pleasant, Isle of Palms, Sullivans Island, Charleston Peninsula, Daniel Island, John's Island, Kiawah and Seabrook, Edisto to Hilton Head Island. Prior to moving south, Josephine founded La Dorita Cooks, the first culinary incubator in Pittsburgh, PA and was the long-time CFO of the tri-state medical diagnostics company, Med Health Services.
