Ylenia
Founder, creative mind, and the driving force behind the experience. My journey began with the traditions of a classic Italian family, where cuisine was never just food, but an expression of care, heritage, and love. That foundation followed me to Australia, where my vision expanded through the study and fusion of diverse culinary cultures. I refined my craft in the kitchens of five-star hotels and fine-dining restaurants—environments that shaped my discipline, precision, and respect for excellence. Those experiences elevated my technique, yet my philosophy remains rooted in tradition. Today, my cuisine is defined by understated sophistication: clean, well-balanced flavours, timeless recipes reimagined with a modern sensibility, and an uncompromising attention to detail. I create experiences that feel familiar yet refined—where authenticity meets elegance.
Viviana
I have no formal education. Everything I know has been passed down to me through my family and my life experiences. I don’t weigh or measure—I cook by feeling. For a long time, despite loving food, I was in conflict with it: measuring it, analyzing it, breaking it down, hiding it, vomiting it. After that war, peace arrived. A reconnection, and the discovery of added values such as ethics and using food as medicine. For 10 years I was vegan and vegetarian. Living abroad made it easier to embrace this diet— in Italy, it is truly challenging! I attended seminars and courses in macrobiotic, vegetarian, spiritual, and healing cuisine.
Today, I am able to bring all these elements together while preserving what matters most: flavor. I was not born a chef—I am a Makeup Artist and Skin Therapist. I use food to help resolve skin issues and to create a glow that comes from within.
