“I am most of all an educator,” says Leonardo La Cava, 29, who approached the cuisine in his adolescence when he was living in Rome. He learned valuable lessons from a very young age: food makes people come together, fresh is better, cooking is an art and you are what you eat.
“There is nothing like making fresh pasta with your family on a Sunday afternoon. That’s how I remember most of my Sundays as a child. It’s a beautiful feeling that I’ll never forget because it represents everything that is good of life,” says La Cava who’s views about cooking have played a very important role in his own personal style that could be defined as “traditionally healthy with a modern twist”.
