    Born in 1986 and raised in Rome, Ilaria comes from three generations of chefs. She began cooking in her family’s restaurant at a very young age and later refined her skills at the Italian Chef Academy. She loves sharing not only recipes but also the traditions, memories, and everyday rituals that have shaped her way of cooking.
