Hi from Viviana!

For me, cooking is not just about preparing dishes: it’s a way to tell stories, connect with people and cultures, rediscover authentic flavors, and bring a bit of home to those who sit at the table.I love making traditional Tuscan first courses, like pappardelle with various sauces and rustic soups, but having grown up in Lombardy, I also adore risottos, with that aroma that takes me back to the dishes my grandmother used to make.For main courses, I favor hearty, comforting dishes: roasts, tender stews, or grilled meats that remind me of family Sundays. These are dishes that take time and love, just the way I like it.I also love making desserts that smell like home: tarts with homemade jam and cantucci to dip in vin santo. These are passed-down recipes, filled with the warmth of family and happy moments.In the kitchen, I relax: my hands knead, time slows down, and every gesture becomes a small ritual of pleasure.
