Ciao, I’m Antonella – Your Italian Chef and Food Coach passionate about bringing the authentic flavours of Italy into your home!

My culinary journey:

From the age of seven, I started cooking alongside my mother and compiling my own handwritten cookbook filled with all she taught me. These early experiences ignited a lifelong passion for sharing the joy of Italian cooking.

Experience and Qualifications:   

After working in corporate marketing within a leading food company, I took a leap to start selling my own fresh Italian products at farmers’ markets. I then obtained my chef qualifications from Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School and worked in various restaurants and function centres, collaborating with other chefs and owners to develop unique recipes and menus.

For over 18 years, I have been teaching Italian cooking both online and in-person, combining my Italian heritage with professional training to impart valuable, lifelong culinary skills.

Pass the Parmesan Italian Cooking School: 

Teaching is where my heart truly lies, and this passion has inspired me to establish Pass the Parmesan Italian Cooking School. Here, I transform all my culinary knowledge into engaging online courses, helping you master delicious and authentic Italian cuisine from the comfort of your own kitchen, wherever you may be in the world.

Why I Do What I Do:

Sharing everything I know makes me very happy.

My mission is to make authentic Italian cooking and modern techniques accessible to everyone, particularly in today’s fast-paced world. 

My specially designed on-demand, self-paced courses allow you to learn at your own pace, watching when it suits you, with the ability to pause and rewatch as needed. 

What I Promise To Offer: 

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cook, you’ll find a supportive environment in my courses, with detailed, step-by-step prerecorded lessons. I am also happy to answer your questions, ensuring your learning journey is an enjoyable and successful one.

It gives me great joy to connect with and inspire those hungry to learn, and I would love the opportunity to help you confidently master Italian cooking, engaging all your senses, especially your taste buds! 

I look forward to cooking together.
