Eva Santaguida was born and raised in Calabria, Italy. She learned how to cook in the best environment possible: a small Italian village where no restaurant survives because everyone’s Nonna is the best chef in town! She and her husband, Harper Alexander, are the creators of the popular Italian cooking YouTube channel, Pasta Grammar, where they share authentic Italian food through a humorous video format. They quickly found success on the platform after being named one of YouTube&#8217;s “Creators on the Rise.” Their brand has expanded as they serve their customers and fans with unique merchandise, video cooking guides, Italian language lessons. and an enormously successful series of culinary tours where they take eager foodies on ten-day trips through southern Italy.
Harper Alexander worked as a cinematographer in Hollywood before meeting his wife, Eva Santaguida. She immediately started sharing the food of her country with him, and he was shocked at just how different (and better!) it was from the “Italian” food he thought he knew.

Alisandra Puliti is an entertainment and lifestyle journalist with over 15 years of experience.  The Penn State alum has held several positions at HELLO! and HOLA! Media, Us Weekly and OK! Magazine and is a contributing editor for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. Throughout her tenure, she has been a fixture at events such as the Golden Globes to the Cannes Film Festival and has interviewed the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, Eva Longoria, Jay-Z and more of Hollywood’s elite. A self-professed ‘social homebody,’ when she isn’t home binge-watching the newest streaming series from the States and Italy or perfecting pasta dishes, her constant wanderlust has her packing her bags and heading out for a new adventure – most likely back to Italy where she is in the process of renovating a condo on the Adriatic coast in Abruzzo!
