My story
creating & connecting is my motivating force
As a descendant from a long line of farmers from Italy, I have an innate connection to the land, a love of food and especially sharing a meal with others over good conversation. I find inspiration in the kitchen from my travels between California to Italy. My mission is to tell the tales of artisanal ingredients and authentic dishes from terroir to table through words and imagery, and to connect English & Italian speakers through a love of food.
In the kitchen and around the table is the best place to connect
CONVERSATION
The art of combining ingredients that nourish and satisfy and best of all can be shared with others
Cooking
A perfect pairing always enhances a dish
WINE
The art of capturing food stories choreographed through movement and music
Filming
Ingredients that reflect the terroir and tradition of a place and the passion of the producer
Authentic Ingredients
My culinary and lifestyle muse
Italy
What Inspires Me
“It seems to me that our three basic needs for food and security and love, are so entwined that we cannot think of one without the other.”
M.F.K Fischer
Ready to get inspired for your next meal?
There is romance and beauty in the everyday. It can be found in the simple joy of human connection found around the table through a good conversation over a shared meal. It’s in the love of homemade food and sharing it with others. Fulfillment can be found in the journey of taste - from source to plate. Our mission is to inspire cooking and conversation with confidence and connection.
