Ciao! Welcome!

What’s my deal? My passion is to cook, entertain and create. I believe a home-cooked meal with friends is one of life’s greatest joys and luxuries. I think anyone with a little inspiration and effort can enjoy cooking for themselves. I also enjoy the challenge of making cooking for one = cooking for fun. Join me. Andiamo!
