ABOUT ME
I’m Claudia, an Italian-Venezuelan cooking, eating and dancing in Rome. In love with veggies, suitcases, airports, hats, Christmas & books.
My Italian father decided to move back to Italy when I was 8 years old. After a few decades, my foodie carrier began.
Following ten years in Human Resources, I decided it was time for a change. So I pursued my passions. I created an Italian food blog, Gourmet Project, to write down all I knew about Italian food and cuisine, and most of all, everything I was learning, constantly, on the way.
After a while, I decided it was time to go a little deeper and give my readers something more. Something they could literally take home, handle, and keep in their kitchen for consultation and inspiration, so I published a book slash cookbook series about Italy: Simposio.
I’m a person in constant search of learning new things, observing the world, and documenting what I find. So most of the time, you’ll see me taking a picture and noting down what I saw, read, or heard.
My sources are the people I meet (from the greengrocer to the butcher, from the restaurateur to a friend, or a friend of a friend, or a friend’s mom, nonna or nonno), the books I read, the places I go, the things I remember from the past, and the things that happen in the present.
