Luciana is a young vibrant Italian woman who has been living in China since 2009
She grew up in warm sunny Lecce in Southern Italy, the land of delicious Mediterranean food and flavors
In her hometown many herbs, spices and fruits grow in the wild and walking around you feel you are in a natural heaven of aromas and flavors
Her love for cooking started in her childhood when she would spend many Sunday morning learning from and helping her Nonna (grandmother) preparing the family Sunday lunch.
From her Nonna she learned how to make melt in your mouth homemade pasta, exquisite freshly pickled vegetables, delicious tomato sauce, preserved chilies, freshly picked fruit jams and many other typical southern Italy specialties
She lived in Veneto, a northern Region of Italy, for 10 years and she learned many culinary specialties from this area as well
During her 5 years experience working in a restaurant she tried to catch up as much as she could from helping and watching the chef cooking
She wants to share her passion with other people because she believes that cooking is a way to express creativity and passion, to communicate in the same way as talking to people
For this reason she thinks that there is no one who is not able to do it with simplicity and love
Anyone can be a chef and create his own dish adding a pinch of personality in each recipe
Full-time and happy mom and wife she wants now to dedicate some of her free-time to this passion and she will run cooking class to teach you all the recipes that she knows
