Since the youngest age I have always had a passion for everything and anything to do with food. Whether it is cooking, baking, styling, photographing or eating, I have always loved spending time in the kitchen and exploring restaurants. With 2020 came a few unusual circumstances, including extended periods of time spent at home. So, I decided to use this time to write out the recipes for some of my favourite dishes and desserts. This recipe book is a collection of all the healthy recipes I have discovered over the years, ranging from some of my family’s classics to recipes I developed in my New York City kitchen. I can now proudly present to you the product of my “quarantine project” and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
