Born and raised in the culinary capital of Milan, Italy, it was destined that Luca would inherit the passion for food and culinary exploration of his homeland. Luca's interest and passion for food commenced with his mum and nona when he was just eight years old, taking his first few steps with them in the direction of becoming a chef.
One of today's most successful chefs and food consultants, this is Luca's journey from Milan, Italy, to Australia and beyond, and how his food journey has made him one of the most sought after chefs.
From the basics he learnt from his mother and grandmother to life in a different time in Milan, Italy and holidays at Lake Como. He tells of moving to London and then to Australia to establish himself to be one of the most credible chefs on Italian cuisine.
This is Luca's second book.
All his products of pasta sauces, oils, pastas can be found in stores across Australia, Asia and New Zealand.
