Hi from Francesca!

I've been cooking since I was young, to rediscover the flavors from my grandmother’s and mother’s kitchens. I love Italian cuisine, alpine ingredients, and the traditional dishes of my Valtellina, like Pizzoccheri, Sciat, Taroz, and the Mac De.Co. of Berbenno. I prefer to buy local ingredients directly from trusted producers, and the game meat we enjoy at home comes from my husband’s selective hunting of ungulates.I have a deep love and appreciation for my region, the birthplace of Bresaola and mountain wines produced on steep terraces. This unique landscape produces a distinctive Nebbiolo, renowned for its elegance and unmistakable character. In short, my cooking is rooted in mountain traditions, featuring carefully selected, mostly local ingredients from suppliers I know and trust.
