At home, in London, she began her career at The Telegraph where her writing, recipes and photography were published.

Later she made her move to the kitchen, working in restaurants including Carousel, Pophams and Social Pantry and catering various events.

Currently, she working mostly on private events, teaching cooking classes and running her supper club – avenues that allow her to share her love of Italian food and culture with other people.
