Every artist has a unique story

Dream it.

My journey really began as a highly stressed and overworked New Yorker originally pursuing a career in fashion. After years of overworking my body and mind, I decided to ‘feed’ my soul with the world of food.

I grew up in an Italian family that believes that dinner is not just a time to nourish one’s body but a time to reconnect with family and friends. To this day we still all gather in the kitchen creating and inspiring each other collaborating communally and sharing what we have united to create. And despite our differences, we all seem at peace when eating and celebrating a meal together.

Moving from NYC to Austin for a restaurant consulting position, I soon meet my soulmate (aka husband) whom I believe shed some light on the choices I make with my fork and the responsibility I have to be an influencer in the kitchen. I have always been a believer in quality while understanding the story behind the ingredients and the faraway lands they came from before the grocery store & chopping board created a bigger mission on my cooking career.

Attending the Matthew Kenney Culinary School in Los Angeles opened my eyes to the versatility of plants and the potential that plant-based living offers. I started focusing on being a solid plant-based cook simply because I wanted people to experience the incredible versatility and explosive flavors one can taste from this earth’s flora.

Furthering my understanding of the plant world, I wanted not only to feed but nourish more profoundly. I attended the Wildflower Herb School by Nicole Telk with a desire to create approachable food with restorative and or adaptogenic properties. I have learned and continue to learn how I can rewild recipes.
