“My roots were first Planted in the Borough of Brooklyn, in a tight knit Italian family. It was a household that revolved around food.”
Throughout the diverse paths my walk of life have taken, there has always been a thread that tied me to the kitchen. Food is a sacred practice inherited from all my ancestors. My roots.
However, my calling as a teacher of seasonal cooking, and wellness coach took root later in life. It came when I had all the necessary tools to step into the role of educator, chef, and coach.
We never know where life will take us, which is both exhilarating and unsettling. Planting new roots in whatever direction the heart leads us requires nurturing, passion, and patience. As I have
experienced, not all things take hold, nor are they meant to. One must trust in the process.
Do something because you want to, not because you are expecting a payoff.
I hold the belief that the universe will give it back to you, bearing all the fruits of your labor. The roots of education can be bitter, but the fruit is sweet.
My vocation as a teacher of seasonal cooking unfolded naturally, at just the right time. Now, I get to guide my clients in creating healthy delicious food that suits their needs and lifestyle.
Furthermore, we now have an understanding that food is about much more than deliciousness.
For example: getting the majority of ingredients at your local farmers market, which in turn promotes connection and support, giving strength to our tribe.
What better way to connect than with food, and an extra portion of love.
Even so, It’s not just about breaking bread together, but making bread together, and sharing our stories,
our roots, and laying down some new ones.
What better place than around the table.
To your good health…
