As a child I spent a lot of time in the kitchen with my Noni, fondly known by many as Enza. This inevitably inspired me to become the renowned Chef I am today.

 

As we cooked together, I would hear many stories of her young life in Sicily. I would always ask a lot of questions and Noni would tell me stories with fringes about this mythical island. With Sicilian blood on both sides of my family, I have travelled back to Sicily many times. Since 2017, I joined Noni on her Savouring Sicily & Beyond tours, and are proud to be able to continue something so uniquely special that has made these tours so successful in over the years. My culinary skills owe so much to this land of many flavours and “cucina povera” (food of the poor) simple, fresh and lots of love.

​

Sicily has so much to offer all of us, from deep wines from Etna, to fresh seafood coming off the boat the same day as we prepare lunch in picturesque settings, to enjoying the immense history of the key of the Mediterranean, blessed with art and such a hospitable culture.

 

In 2024, I was deeply honoured to officially take the reins of Savouring Sicily & Beyond, continuing the legacy my Noni, Enza, so passionately built. With pride and gratitude, I look forward to sharing the magic of Sicily through unforgettable cultural immersions, preserving the traditions and spirit that have made these tours truly special for so many over the years. Let’s explore Sicily together, just as it has been cherished and shared within my own family.
