Hi from Annarita!

"I was born in Garfagnana, a green area between the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines and the Apuan Alps, a happy island of simple, supportive and courageous people, who in the past knew poverty and hard work and, for many years, the woods , chestnuts, mushrooms and snow have been my daily bread. Out of love I moved to Camaiore and the sea, fish and boats have become part of my world. Cooking for me is tradition, memory, passion , love, generosity, care for oneself and for others. Since 2012 I have had a cooking blog Il bosco di alici, in which I tell about myself and my cooking. I learned to cook by watching my mother do it every day, with love, with dedication and with respect. I always try to use quality ingredients, to use local products and not to waste food. I have worked in the kitchen of farmhouses, restaurants and as a personal chef, trying to learn and improve every time".
