About Alba

Born in Naples, Italy and raised in Tunis,Tunisia, my love for cooking and a desire to share my culture have been two of my lifelong passions.   I began to learn how to enjoy diverse and eclectic dishes at an early age.  I have also been fortunate to travel and live in varied cultural environments.  I am a cooking instructor and personal chef specializing in southern Italian and Mediterranean cuisine in the Washington Metropolitan Area. My recipes are rustic, simple and vibrant in taste.

So exited finally...My 2nd cookbook is published as of May 2023.
