Ciao! My name is Luana, I am a native Italian chef, from Ascoli Piceno, a gorgeous city nestled in the central region of Le Marche. My culinary background is focused on regional Italian cuisine. I ran my own restaurant for decades and specialize in pasta and pizza making from scratch. I love sharing my culture and my passion for the culinary arts with those who appreciate good, genuine food and great company.

For me, cooking is...

Cooking is the language of my soul. It reminds me of my family, particularly my grandmother, with whom I spent countless hours in the kitchen learning

I learned to cook at...

I learnt from chefs and pizza experts in Italy, before starting our restaurant venture which lasted over three decades before coming to the US.

A cooking secret...

Cooking is an act of love. As my culture tought me, I cook to nourish, cuddle and cherish those I love. I help clients and students do the same.
