MY STORY
Born and raised in Bergamo, in the north of Italy, I grew up between cultures, where African roots met Italian taste on every single plate.At 18, I moved to the UK on my own, chasing a dream without knowing exactly where it would take me. My first job was washing dishes and just a month later, the Head Chef at The Ivy asked if I wanted to step into the kitchen. For a year, I prepped tirelessly. No service, just chopping, prepping and learning the foundations of the craft.
That was the beginning.From there, I started climbing the ladder.
After 5 long years, i left and I kept climbing, moving through some of London’s most iconic kitchens, from Daphne’s to Daylesford; not just refining my craft, but learning what it meant to guide and inspire others. Teaching became as much a passion as cooking; passing on skills, sharing knowledge and watching others grow gave me the same satisfaction as creating a perfect dish.
When I moved to Manchester, I poured that same energy into helping open Peru Perdu, building and leading a team from the ground up. Later, at James Martin Manchester, I had the privilege of leading once again in one of the city’s busiest kitchens.For over 13 years, i’ve refined my craft, sharpened my skills and led teams through the fast-paced and high-pressure world of hospitality. But along the way I realised the moments I cherished most weren’t about perfect plating or flawless service.They were about connection, about how food makes people feel seen, cared for and truly at home.
That’s why I left behind the noise of the restaurant floor to create something more personal, where every dish carries not just flavour but a story.
WHO IS SELFLAVOURS?
Selflavours was born from the desire to bring the same dedication, skill, and passion I honed in professional kitchens into a space where every dish tells a story...your story.Here, cooking isn’t just about taste, it’s about intimacy. It’s about creating menus that reflect the people they’re for, using fresh, seasonal ingredients and infusing every plate with the love and attention that transforms a meal into a memory.
With Selflavours, I take the love I’ve always put into my food and bring it directly to you, in the comfort of your home, at your table, for your moment!
Starters – Elegant Beginnings is a refined digital cookbook celebrating the art of beginning well.This collection brings together elegant starter dishes and signature sauces shaped by memory, culture and true love for food.
Designed to stand alone or flow seamlessly into a wider meal, these starters are meant to slow the moment, open conversation and set the tone for what follows.Alongside you will find clear methods, exclusive chef’s notes and tricks to guide technique, flavour and presentation.
