Meet The Chef

With roots firmly planted in the kitchens of my family's heritage, my culinary journey began practically at birth. From my Italian great-grandmother's teachings on crafting homemade pasta to my grandfather's gourmet feasts for scores of guests, food has always been the heart of our family gatherings. Surrounded by the warmth of the kitchen, I absorbed the essence of fresh ingredients, rustic simplicity, and the joy of sharing meals with loved ones.

As I grew, so did my passion for food. As immersed in myself in flavors, dishes and was exposed to diverse cuisines from around the world, I developed a deep appreciation for the artistry of cooking. While pursuing an undergraduate degree in Fine Arts, I found parallels between my love for artistic expression and the creativity found in the kitchen.

After a fulfilling career that took me across the globe, I decided to formalize my nutritional expertise by earning a Masters of Science in Holistic Nutrition. This fusion of culinary adoration and nutritional knowledge became the cornerstone of my approach to cooking. With a focus on flavor, nutrient density, and the emotional connection forged through food, I began sharing my passion through teaching cooking classes and hosting intimate private dinners.

My style of cooking reflects the intersection of tradition and innovation, drawing inspiration from old-world elegance and a commitment to wholesome ingredients. While I may not have trained in a culinary school or earned Michelin stars, my culinary creations speak for themselves, leaving behind only empty plates and satisfied hearts.

Today, I continue to follow my culinary calling, curating wellness retreats, collaborating with wineries, and crafting memorable dining experiences for discerning clients. With every meal I prepare, my goal remains the same: to infuse each bite with love, comfort, and nourishment, leaving my guests feeling truly cared for and satisfied.
