I’m a fourth-generation cook, and I’ve spent my life chasing the perfect bite of fresh pasta and elevating Roman, Italian, and Mediterranean classics with care, precision, and heart.

I’m the owner and founder of Tnema Ltd in London, where I specialize in gluten-free and fresh pasta using my own unique recipe. Over the last 25+ years, I’ve cooked across 12 countries and culinary cultures, worked in award-winning restaurants including 1–3 Michelin-star kitchens, and served as Executive Head Chef for the English Government with a reference at Downing Street.

For me, cooking is family, home, and the essence of life.

What you get when you cook with me

I cook from the heart

Cooking, to me, is family, home, and the essence of life—so I focus on generous flavors, honest technique, and the kind of hospitality that makes everyone feel welcome.

I’m shaped by tradition and high-level kitchens

I learned to cook surrounded by my family—my grandmother kneading kilos and kilos of fresh pasta, my mother baking cookies and cakes, and those aromas blending into something unforgettable. I’ve carried that foundation through 25+ years of professional experience across 12 countries, from Michelin-star restaurants to serving at the highest institutional level in the UK.

I keep it authentic and free

My kitchen secret is simple: I feel free. That freedom lets me cook with mastery and creativity while staying faithful to the soul of every dish.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Italian and Local. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.
