All About Me
Growing up in Italy, the kitchen was the heart of connection and tradition. When I had to go gluten-free, my source of comfort became a place of frustration. I felt like I was saying goodbye to the flavors I loved.
That frustration became my fuel. I decided my life would not mean culinary compromise.
The turning point was recreating my grandmother’s lasagna using gluten-free pasta. When I served it, my family asked for seconds—no questions about gluten-free! That powerful moment proved that gluten-free food can bring the exact same joy and flavor as any traditional recipe.
Now, splitting my time between Florence and Naples, Florida, I combine authentic Italian flavor with accessible comfort food. If you miss “the good stuff,” you’ve come to the right place! ANYONE CAN MAKE our easy, safe recipes!
