AboutAlessandra

My name is Alessandra and I was born in Vico Equense, Naples. Vico Equense is a coastal town located between Pompeii and Sorrento. The area is called Penisola Sorrentina. I live in the United States and travel to Italy every year.

I started my cooking channel so that I can pass on the recipes to my daughter’s. One day they’ll be able to carry on the traditions with authentic recipes I’ve learned from my nonna, mom, and aunts. Food is love and sharing it with loved ones is the greatest gift in life. Please do watch my videos, I try to be clear, precise with easy to follow instructions and most importantly make and enjoy my recipes.

I hope all my recipes will bring you back to the foods you love and the memories of the past with nonna in the kitchen.

Grazie e buon appetito
Alessandra
