More about me
For me, cooking is...
what I was born to do. After working for 25 years in Italy, UK, Spain & NL I focus on great local produce to deliver memorable dining for you
I learned to cook at...
my Nonna's home in Aci Castello in Sicily. She inspired me to develop the skills and passion to work as a professional chef travelling around Europe.
A cooking secret...
is to personally-source authentic, seasonal, local ingredients of the highest quality. I work with the best produce to bring you Italy on a plate.
