"Your culture
makes you richer,"
my father used to say.

I feel this especially when I cook. I'm surrounded and influenced by generations of past cooks, and they encourage me to keep our recipes faithful to their origin, and to cherish and pass on the joys that our culture gives us.

Benvenuto!

Welcome to A Taste of Naples! Here you will find delicious recipes and lively discussions about my favorite culinary region - Naples, Italy.

I originally learned about the wonderful cuisine of Naples by helping my mother prepare her delicious native dishes for large family gatherings every Sunday afternoon. Today, it gives me great joy to share a little piece of my heritage with others, so I have written a cookbook "A Taste of Naples."

Please, take a moment to browse through the site. I'd like to hear what you think, so please drop me a line at info@atasteofnaples.com.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
