Hey there, my name is Luciana Sampogna… My story with Lu Nathanial (or Lu Rosa, how I fondly remember her ) goes back many years ago to our school days in Brazil…
We were children swimming at the beach, listening to the same songs, sharing the same friends, living life in full.
Sometimes, as it happens, destiny comes along…new horizons and new skies can sadly separate people. But with a big sigh I am happy to say out loud, and clearly: hearts and souls that are meant to cross paths again can never be separated.
Our childhood friendship was revived in Sydney, Australia.
Here I am, the girl who got away from it all, and opened her own cooking school in Australia.
I was brought up in a strict Italian family, where an alarm clock would hit the roof to remind anyone in the kitchen that the pasta was al dente.
I’ve lived in 9 countries and I’ve discovered many cultures, and inherited many languages through my travels.
As I travelled, I realized that so many Italian recipes were changed in order to please palates, and to sugar coat others.
I aim to record and safeguard the Italian cooking heritage which has been lost and misinterpreted.
I wish to bottle the tastes, the baking smells of my childhood.
I aim to preserve the the soul of Italian cooking – so rustic, so simple, but so defined.
