My two passions, for food and for Italian traditions, allowed me to create a brand new concept for Italian home cooking style, making it differe

Arrived in New York to work as Private Chef for a Diplomat, I have decided to follow my instinct developing a sort of social food network based on authentic Italian Traditional home cooking.

Cookita is the result of my carefully field research, during which I have put all my background experience as 20 years Italian food educator and wholesale and all my heart for easy and quick culinary art of my land. My ultimate mission is to support you to become a personal interpreter of the “Italian home cooking style ”, designing customized workshops so that attending my classes“ You Make the Difference”
