“Giovanna, my beloved Nonna, and my cherished mother are the two incredible women whose culinary creations not only brought my family together but also deeply influenced my own journey as a chef. The heartwarming memories of sitting around my Nonna's table, especially during our annual summer trips to Italy, fill me with immense gratitude and inspiration. Witnessing the way she poured love into each dish she prepared, cooking with the rhythm of the seasons and creating delicious meals from scratch, instilled in me a profound appreciation for the art of cooking.
