I am a self-taught cook, drawing inspiration from my mom, dad, nonna, and years of experimenting in the kitchen. I am a Certified Holistic Nutritional Consultant from the Institute of Holistic Nutrition and a Certified Culinary Nutrition Expert from the Academy of Culinary Nutrition. I have read and cooked from numerous cookbooks, learned from accomplished chefs, participated in cooking classes in PEI, Boston, and Italy, and devoured countless food documentaries. Years of cooking experience have enriched my culinary skills.
