Hello, my eater friends,
 
I was born and raised in a historical little town close to Milano and I have always cooked. Also, my husband is Italian, but he comes from the Southern part. In California, we became vegetarian while we kept open some pescatarian options for special occasions. Let's say we are 80% 20%. We also moved from SF to LA and here in a bigger house, I'm thrilled to host more friendly people for gastronomic experiences.

My dishes come from a solid heritage, a guarantee of goodness, and a mark of authenticity. So in my kitchen, I love incorporating all the culinary traditions of our beautiful boot Italy. 
Said so, I also cook moved by my influences and inspirations: my life abroad, my travels, my sensory experiences, my learning, what I have eaten in my past, what I want to try tomorrow, and the love that I always put into the pot.
For this reason, I think that in my "repertoire," it is possible to recognize a mix and match of international flavors, eclectic inspirations, and contemporary cuisine.

I equally like to make a gourmet sandwich or maybe a simple pasta as I enjoy more elaborate preparations where are involved more dedication, focus, and technique.
My discipline is to be creative and follow the suggestion of the day, of the season, of that special ingredient on the store's shelf today or again recreate a taste that comes from memories or wishes.

Without any doubt, I'm a "good fork" too - the Italian way to say, foodie. So, I invite you to try what I consider greedy, delicious, beautiful, genuine.
All that without compromising the wholesomeness and the good practice to reduce the necessary amount of fat, salt, sugar, gluten, and animal proteins in the preparation of a meal. 
Usually,  the result is a yummy one but lighter and most effortless to be digested.  
Another key aspect for me is to pay attention to the quality and origins of the ingredients. I use mainly organic products selected from local sources and the freshest available in stores.

So, yeah, now you can take a seat, a fork, and enjoy the table with me!
