My Culinary Journey
Growing up in Italy, my days were filled with the aroma of freshly baked bread, simmering sauces, and the vibrant colors of seasonal ingredients. My family, especially my grandmother, taught me the importance of using fresh, local produce and cooking with love. These early experiences sparked a lifelong passion for food, which led me to pursue a career in the culinary world.
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in various kitchens, both in Italy and abroad, learning from talented chefs and honing my skills. From rustic trattorias to Michelin-starred restaurants, each experience has shaped my approach to cooking, always emphasizing the importance of simplicity, quality ingredients, and authenticity.
