OUR CHEFS

Giulia

I have been working in the hospitality industry for over 12 years, focusing on vegan and vegetarian cuisine and have a deep passion for creating delicious plant-based desserts; re-imagining traditional Italian recipes, in a vegan-friendly way.

I have taught fresh pasta workshops, creating authentic Italian pasta, using vegetarian ingredients and experience this as incredibly rewarding, seeing others get excited about plant-based cooking.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work in various cities across Italy, as well as in London and Brighton.

For me, it's all about bringing fresh, sustainable, and tasty food to the table. I believe that vegan and vegetarian dishes can be just as satisfying and flavourful as traditional ones and i am dedicated in inspiring others to explore the world of vegan cuisine and to continue creating delicious, innovative dishes.
