My name is Grazia, I was born in Italy of a Canadian mother and an Italian father, I grew up in Florence Italy learning the best of both worlds.
After a lifetime of amateur cooking, I finally decided to turn my passion into my profession.
Now I am a qualified personal chef, and I work from any kitchen, even yours ! I understand both the Italian and the Canadian culture and tastes.
Wether you are on holiday or just over for the weekend, I can make your life easyer by doing your grocery shopping and making sure that dinner is ready when you get home.
As a personal chef I can prepare dinner parties, birthdays, anniversaries, or even just an aperitivo can become a special event when you can be with your guests and not in the kitchen. You can enjoy snacks after skiing all day, or lunch and dinner for you everyday. I can organize your weekly menu, so you don’t even have to think about it.
I am a qualified teacher of italian cuisine by the Association of Italian Cuisine Teachers of Milan, and can teach you to make anything from home made potato gnocchi, to lasagne, or ossobuco, even that crunchy turcan bread used to make bruschetta!
One of my goals is to provide true italian food, served in a fancy or family stile, made ahead or express, as long as it is healthy, tasty and fully enjoyable.
This looks really inviting. Can I sign up? Ann

Hello Grazia,
I would like to make an appointment to discuss some dinners: How may I contact you for a private discussion.
Kindest Regards,
Monika
Monica, thank you! You can email me at personalchef.grazia@gmail.com or call me on 335 5733344.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Cuoca,
Per favore, sempre sto imparando l’italiano, ed ho bisogno di dire “The Passionate Culinarian”. How would you say it? I think “Il Cuoco Profondo” would work, but….I’m not 100% sure. Can you help me out?
Ma scherzi !! con molto piacere π I would say you are “Il cuoco appassionato” or “Cuoco con Passione” . . . . maybe I like the second one better !
D’accordo! It is the second one, then:
Adesso, mi chiamato ‘Il Cuoco con Passione’!
Grazie, bella.
che bello ! mi piace Il Cuoco con Passione ! – quando vuoi posso aiutarti con l’italiano – sarebbe un onore!!
I’ve nominated you for a Sunshine Award: http://veggiewhatnow.wordpress.com/2012/04/30/sunshine-award/
Wow! thank you So much !!! I’ve never been nominated . . . and am totally clueless . . . will study about it !! but I am honored π
