I’m an enthusiastic chef with 20 years of experience and obsessed with flavor. Since very young I was aware that little things in life were so unifying as food. Soon I started to cook with my mother and learned quite a lot in culinary school, by traveling and at my restaurant Amore Vero. Even the simplest meal serves as a pretext to be with family and friends and sometimes even strangers that cross our lives. For me is the perfect way to give love, by changing the process and the final result (for the better) for hardly any good comes out of it without a pinch of salt or lots of love.
I describe my kind of cooking as an endless love for middle eastern flavors, Mediterranean and Asian cuisine. I’m specialized in vegetarian and vegan food. I cater for fitness and yoga retreats and also work as a private chef (holiday cooking, special events, etc). I see cooking as a global experience, I love mixing spices and influences from around the world to achieve bold flavors.
