Summary

I define myself as a pastry chef and cook by passion and by vocation. Originally from Lazio, I have lived most of my life in Lucca in Tuscany, carrying with me the scent of the kitchens of the past where time slows down and taste really matters. For many years I have been lovingly dedicated to homemade cooking, genuine dishes prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients. For me, cooking is not just about nourishing, but telling a story, sharing a smile, and maybe even winning a few hearts, especially through the stomach. But it doesn't end there because I put the same passion into making excellent desserts from the Italian tradition as well as from the rest of the world.

Personal Information

Parcours professionnel

So my professional career regarding cooking and pastry is not long since it started very late, and in Italy I didn’t have the opportunity to excel at anything because every time I found a job it was of various types and I wasn’t given a contact, and therefore the salary was also low.

Anyway, my first experiences in the world of cooking was when I was twenty years old, when I decided to undertake a long trip from Rieti to Vicenza, starting to work for an American Pizzeria that also served mexican cuisine. But then, after this experiences, there was a new twist and I enroled at the University of Pisa.

Very often cooked for friends, I have cooked for my Family, I have cooked for my parents, even meals specifically for elderly people who could not chew, in short.

I have been a daughter in moments of greatest need for my parents, taking care of them.

Formation

I have a basic creative training both in paper, in photography and in cooking, and I think is my strength.
