Passion

Me

After spending ten years working successfully as an executive assistant for international companies, finally I choose to follow my own true calling: cooking.

During the course of a sabbatical year I attended the Gambero Rosso Cooking School, I finally realized what I wanted to be as a grown up.

From that moment onwards I only relied upon a very strong commitment and will to succeed.

Then started working within the school itself, as an intern availing the opportunity to build up a solid teaching background. During the course of this collaboration with the School, I had the privilege of working alongside Michelin starred chefs at events held at the Città del Gusto's - Teatro della Cucina.

The opportunity to work at the restaurant Trippini di Civitella del Lago, followed by another experience with the Settembrini restaurant in Rome, finally established a very solid knowledge of every aspect of food preparation and cooking.

The position of Principal Chef Instructor for the Gambero Rosso's International Cooking Schools abroad - Bangkok, Miami, Seoul Hong Kong up to Tokyo - has given to me the great privilege to bring the true Italian haute cuisine in the world.

In 2013 I was included within the Catering & Delivery section of the Gambero Rosso - Rome Guide.

In 2014, I became a TV host, presenting my very own TV show called La buona cucina di Adelaide (Gambero Rosso Channel , 412 Sky Italia) and promotes my credo:

"passion is the key ingredient..."

Teaching

Is very rewarding on a personal level to be able to offer passion and knowledge to people through teaching.

I teach courses aimed to both professionals and amateurs as well as to students enrolled in vocational schools.

For enthusiasts I have developed a full path to an optimal level, starting from the scratch.

The courses designed for professional students are focused on basic cooking techniques, Italian cuisine both classic and modern, open menus and catering simulations.

I also organize team building activities for companies, with classes taught both in Italian and English.
