Hi from Maria Lucia!

Welcome to our home! Ever since I was a child, I have always had a passion for food and recipes—I would taste and play at the stove while my grandmother cooked. As I grew up and traveled, I developed culinary skills and specialized by attending a professional cooking course to become a chef. My husband, Salvatore, is a classical languages teacher who fondly remembers a childhood home always full of people sharing food and emotions. Hospitality and kindness are the values with which we were raised in southern Italy, and you will find them reflected in our home.At the heart of my cooking are traditional Italian recipes, which over time have been enriched by the inspirations I have gathered during my travels around the world.
