Daniela&#8217;s culinary career path is quite an unconventional one. This once upon a time jewellery designer for over two decades in Toronto, uprooted her city life to that of a slower one in a charming historic town. It was there that her lifelong passion for cooking and sharing conviviality through food quickly became her second act and career. What started as an Italian girl in her new town and casa, preparing daily dishes for the local construction crew working outside her apartment kitchen window, became the community demand for her culinary skills as a Private Chef.
Within three short years, tenaciously doing what she truly loves, Daniela has been a celebrated entrepreneur sharing her experience about starting over at 45, creating a successful career that&#8217;s gained recognition for her deep passion for preserving and sharing the culinary traditions of regional Italy, while promoting culture heritage and cuisine through global publication features, brand partnerships much like her ambassadorship with Rustichella D&#8217;Abruzzo, collaborations with culinary consortiums throughout Italy, guest teaching at various Culinary Academies, and Guest Chef opportunities in Dubai.
Born into a family where food was the cornerstone of life, Daniela spent her early years learning the art of Italian cooking from her mother and grandmother. These formative experiences instilled in her a respect for tradition and a love for the simple, yet profound flavors of her homeland.
Over the years, Daniela has traveled extensively, bringing the flavors of regional rural Italy to her home trattoria where guests indulge in an authentic Italian culinary experience. She is known for sharing dishes that tell stories, and her philosophy is rooted in the belief that food is a powerful connector, bridging the gap between cultures, generations, and traditions, all while enriching our lives with much-needed moments to slow down and savour time at the table with loved ones.

Hello. My name is Joanna Moeller, and I am a passionate home cook residing in downtown Manhattan for 20+ years. I started my Instagram cooking page <a href="https://www.instagram.com/spaghettiroots_nyc/">@spaghettiroots_nyc </a>in April, 2023, as a way to showcase my cooking, as I initially intended for it to be more of an inspirational cooking page featuring my &#8220;No recipe, recipes.&#8221; It has truly been a wonderfully creative outlet for me.

Appetito’s Favorite Italian Spots on NBC’s “New York Live”

<h2>Michele Sessa is an Italian American home chef raised in upstate NY with a flair for creating new recipes. When she was young, her great grandmother would watch her while her parents worked. She only spoke Italian, and they communicated through the magic of cooking. The duo would bake, garden and even take care of the chickens, which developed Michele’s passion for making people happy through her food. All the women in her family fostered the importance of family, faith and healthy food.</h2>
&nbsp;
<h2>Working in the apparel business for over 25 years in NYC and traveling the world for developing fashion lines, her love of different cuisines grew. Of course, Italian food is near and dear to her heart, but she now develops Greek, Asian, Latin and Mexican recipes for her family and for parties.</h2>
&nbsp;
<h2>Now living in Florida with her husband and extended family, she even teaches her friends her innovative takes on Italian classic dishes. Everyone wants and invitation to her Italian Sunday feasts she makes for 8-14 family members, and everyone gets to pick their favorite dinner for their birthday celebration. Her Mother Louise has finally left NY and is living nearby, and they love cooking and baking together, especially for the traditional holiday meals. She learned everything about being a gracious hostess from her mom, and they even catered a large wedding for 65 guests in their backyard when her cousins came to America from Italy to get married!</h2>
&nbsp;
<h2>Michele’s love for her heritage and family continues to drive her knack for entertaining, decorating and cooking. Instagram is another place where she shares her recipes, and she has a great following for her handle <a href="https://www.instagram.com/michele7533/">@michele7533</a>. Make sure to stop by her page for inspiration and her authentic stories through her eyes and her food! Casa Michele’s kitchen is a special place that you can visit through her page!</h2>
