Silvana Nava

Silvana was born in the heart of Milan, a city famous for its art, culture and gastronomy. From a tender age, she was drawn to the scents and flavors of Italian cuisine, inspired by her nonna's ancient recipes and the rich culinary traditions of Lombardy. Throughout her life, Silvana became the heart and soul of every family gathering, delighting friends and family with her exquisite dishes ranging from classic Milanese risottos to delicious osso buco. Her cooking was not just about food; it was a medium to express love, passion, and the stories of the generations before her. Years of perfecting her craft, combined with countless requests from those who had tasted her masterpieces, led Silvana to write down her secrets. Her kitchen in Milan became her sanctuary, where she carefully documented each recipe, technique, and the stories behind them. Today, she shares her recipes with the world at RecipesfromItaly.com.
