about ME

My name is Tommaso!

I was born and raised in Parma.

I was born and raised in Parma. Although I had always nurtured a passion for cooking, I realized it would become my career just a few exams shy of my degree in Electronic Engineering. Around that time, the opportunity to manage the kitchen of an innovative local Bistrot marked my official entry into professional kitchens. Starting out self-taught, I subsequently honed my technique through hands-on experience in various restaurants across Italy, France, and the United States, complemented by specialized courses aimed at solidifying my foundations and refining my skills.

Years later, I can confidently say I have found complete fulfillment in a 360-degree approach culinary career: I work as a culinary instructor, private chef, corporate R&D consultant, gastronomic advisor, and demo chef for the food industry. Today, I offer my expertise to businesses and professionals through strategic consulting, hands-on demonstrations, and start-up projects, driven by relentless curiosity and a natural inclination for collaboration.
