    Silvana Nava

    I was born in the heart of Milan, a city famous for its art, culture and gastronomy. From a tender age, I was drawn to the scents and flavors of Italian cuisine, inspired by my nonna's ancient recipes and the rich culinary traditions of Lombardy. Throughout my life, I became the heart and soul of every family gathering, delighting friends and family with my dishes ranging from classic Milanese risotto to delicious osso buco. I started making gelato at home because my sons loved this frozen dessert from a young age! They still eat it in huge quantities even though they are grown up now! My cooking was not just about food; it was a medium to express love, passion, and the stories of the generations before me. Years of perfecting my skills, combined with countless requests from those who had tasted my recipes, led me to write down my secrets. My kitchen in Milan became my sanctuary, where I carefully documented each recipe, technique, and the stories behind them. Today, I want to share my recipes with the world.
