ABOUT LA PINETA

I was born in the Campania region of Southern Italy, where food is almost as important as family.

​

Many happy weekends of my childhood were spent at La Pineta, the pine forest on the beach. Here friends and family would regularly come together, bringing their favourite dishes to create a feast for everyone to share. This place holds some of my happiest memories: the hot sun, glorious warm sea, delicious food, fun, laughter and the unmistakeable pine scent from the forest.
