Sundays were filled with flour around the kitchen table, children laughing and playing while we were kneeding pasta dough, the sun was streaming in through the windows, and the smell of fresh lemon zests and parsley filled the air. What a happy memory.
I am Italian, born and raised in the village where the Mediterranean diet was first discovered and studied by Dr. Ancel Keys.
I've been cooking since I was 8, and I love it.
Cooking is the only form of art that you can enjoy with all your senses both while cooking and while eating what you have made.
I used to cook with my grandma, and we made everything from scratch: from our own olive oil and wine, to our pasta, bread, tomato sauce. Everything had to be healthy, fresh, authentic, organic, and everything was made with love.
Making food wasn't just about cooking and eating, it was a chance to gather altogether, taking care of each other through that very same food.
Mediterranean diet, considered one of the healthiest diets in the world, is not just about tomato sauce and olive oil, is about food-related traditions that bring people together, make them happy and closer to each other. Is about education to high quality ingredients and good practices. Is about healthy eating habits that involve the whole village, the whole community, the whole family. Is about feeling supported and understood, through cooking, taking care of each other through food.
Growing up I've learned that cooking is not just about providing food, but it can be therapeutic, and helps creating stronger and more profound bonds with people you love.
THAT is the real secret of a healthy life: LOVE.
This is why I want to share my experience with you.
In my cooking classes you'll not only learn how to cook authentic Italian recipes taught by a real Italian, born and raised in the village where the Mediterranean diet was first discovered and studied, but you'll experience something deeper, more fulfilling, therapeutic. Something that'll make you happy, have fun, and bond with your beloved ones.
