“A tavola non si invecchia”. - Italian proverb (At the table with good friends and family you do not become old).

Sharing authentic Italian recipes entrusted upon me through the privilege of being invited into many Italian homes and kitchen’s abroad. I travel, cook, eat, share, learn and photograph my experiences, a truly soul enriching journey. There are now over 100 recipes on this blog to search from. I am a Melbourne born girl who now resides in Pietrasanta, Italy. Sharing my love for food and all things Italian with you. I am not a professionally trained chef, just a person that really loves cooking and has made my passion my reality! Through talent and drive I now work as a private chef in some of the most prestigious private villa`s here in Tuscany, Italy!

Crostini with buffalo mozzarella & anchovies

The film crew have taken over my kitchen
It really is a Buona Domenica!
I'm super excited and proud of this collaboration with Basile Imports and Indie Film Studios.

It's been a long and exciting process in producing a series of six short foodie films.
Today, I am overwhelmed with joy to present the first one with you all. 
To be able to truly love what you do as a profession is so soul enriching, and I feel so fortunate to have been able to collaborate with like minded people. To open my home, my mind and my heart and share my love of cooking with you all.
Grazie mille especially to Patrizia from Basile Imports for believing in my vision, giving me autonomy and providing me with the amazing opportunity. To be able to articulate what goes through my mind when cooking in the way of short film is something quite surreal.
