My Story

Sofia first started off by making recipe cards; they were initially aimed at the international guests who were unable to travel to her family’s holiday villa. She wanted to find a way for them to enjoy food together but from a distance. Traditional Italian recipes, passed on, for people to enjoy in the comfort of their own homes. From the recipe cards, she then moved on to making video content which was shared online and this then quickly turned into virtual lessons with attendees from right across the globe. From Food festivals across the Country, exceptional reviews, to accolades into The National Geographic, her goal is to open a classic Italian eatery with classes on the side but her ultimate goal is “to win the lottery, buy a Georgian house, create a retreat and invite people to come and stay so that they can learn to cook with me whilst taking a break from the busy world that we live in.''

Sofia's interest in food goes back to learning how to make fresh pasta from her Nonna Luigia, since knee high. Her passion for passing on Italian traditions, transpires in her menus which represent the scents and flavours she grew up with, “It is important for me to share my roots and as much of my origins as possible with you; to enable a culinary experience that will bring you straight to Italy."
