Where can you taste my soul food?
📍 At the Food Anthropology Laboratory (LAC) – Milan
I collaborate with the Food Anthropology Laboratory, a place where food is culture, identity, and sharing.
Here, on Sundays for brunch, I offer dishes that reflect the soul culture of my in-laws, which has shaped my way of eating, the influences and that soulful cuisine that I always carry with me.
🏠 Home events, on request
If you want to bring soul into your home, I organize private dinners, children's snacks, and special moments, where every dish is a story to share.
Comfort food, memories, and authentic flavors, tailor-made for adults and children alike.
The Faces of Taste
My story and my cuisine were selected in September 2024 to represent the faces of "Il Gusto".
And that's how I want to experience cooking. I don't want prisons of identity, I don't want battles of principle between guanciale and pancetta, I want the freedom to create something that perhaps wasn't there before, a flavor to be understood, a taste that seeks to connect. Cooking can be the skill of following rules, but also an act of creativity, and at the same time an openness to others, to new tastes, new ideas, new adventures.
Soul on Rolling Stone!

Buone Notizie tells the story of the holidays in comfort food.
Finally, the chef reminds us that comfort food is, above all, about sharing: "Cooking together, even with children, turns every preparation into an experience. This is the true gift of Christmas: time spent with those we love."

I was born in Bologna, in the homeland of pasta, and at 16 I fly to the United States. Donuts, pancakes and waffles become part of my diet, but when they offered me tortellini in salad I thought I was going to make a killing! LoL!
Few foods that I do not eat or that I would not try! _Cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_
