My name is Patrizia, and for the past 10 years, I have been involved in raw vegan cuisine.
Through my work, I teach and promote this extraordinary cuisine to all those who want to discover and explore it.
Over the years, I have met many people: beginners and professionals, vegetarians and vegans, or simply food enthusiasts curious to explore new flavors. I have also encountered individuals seeking inspiration for a detox journey and those with intolerances (gluten or lactose), tired of always eating the same few things.
My professional life began many years ago in a very different field: the theater, which was my home for over twenty years.
However, food has always been very important to me. I grew up observing my father and grandmother bustling in the kitchen, exchanging few words but many precise and essential gestures, all of which were worth learning. My grandmother was a peasant, and cooking delicious and genuine food was her way of showing love.
When I discovered raw foodism many years later, I learned that preparing delicious and genuine food is a way to take care of not only others but also ourselves and our planet. It was a revolution in my life.
After working at Grezzo Raw Chocolate laboratory in Rome, the first raw vegan pastry and chocolate shop in Europe, where I happily got my hands dirty preparing marvelous desserts, ice creams, and chocolates, I wanted to deepen and refine my training. I traveled to the United States to learn firsthand about Matthew Kenney’s philosophy and gourmet raw cuisine, graduating from his prestigious Culinary Academy.
Since then, I have never stopped teaching. I have collaborated with the magazine “Cucina Naturale” for the columns “Crudo e Gourmet” (Raw and Gourmet) and “Crudo Facile e Veloce” (Easy and Quick Raw). I also provide consultancy services in the restaurant industry.
Recently, there has been another beautiful revolution in my life: the arrival of my son, Noah, my wonderful new little sous-chef, who has taught me how raw foodism is suitable for the whole family.
