Some moms LOVE to be in the kitchen, others do not. No right or wrong, there!
All moms, though, love it when occasionally it is someone else putting in the work and spoiling them, while they spend quality time with their beloved friends and/or family members.

Let me be the one working in the kitchen at the next in-home event your mom has in mind.

A Cucinamore Gift Card is the best way to tell them you see them, you love them, and you appreciate them.

Any amount starting from $50 can be purchased and then used towards our services.

All packed and ready to go help a beautiful couple celebrate their love with a special dinner, just for the two of them! 😍 The best part for me is that this is the same couple who hired us for Valentine's Day last year and had been keeping an eye on our calendar until we opened the availability (6months ahead) so that they could be the first to jump on this date and do it again! 😁❤️❤️❤️ Very happy to cook for them tonight!

Tagliatelle al sugo d’agnello con ricotta salata – Abruzzo – 24DEC – SUN - A taste of the Appennini mountains: homemade pasta with a rustic white ragu', locally pastured lamb, white wine, citrus, and original ricotta salata cheese

Cascina del Colle - Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC “Mammut" - Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC “Mammut” is a great structured red wine. The grapes, 100% Montepulciano, are carefully selected and harvested in mid October. Then, only the free-run must gets pressed and winemaking takes place at a controlled temperature. After malolactic fermentation, which grants a particular fineness and maturation, the wine need to be aged in 5 hl tonneau (a particular kind of oak barrels) for 15 months. Bottle refinement lasts at least 6 months.

“Crema di cannellini e rosmarino” – White bean spread with fresh garlic and fresh rosemary.

Poggio Alloro - Vernaccia di San Gimignano - This is a classic example, made from 100% Organic grapes harvested at optimum ripeness and allowed to become wine slowly, naturally, in neutral tank. It’s wonderfully expressive on the nose, with generous aromas of peach, apricot, green apple, and herby wildflower. Take a sip and you’ll love how it fills up your mouth with rich flavors of mid-summer stone fruit (peach, apricot, nectarine), Granny Smith apple, and tangerine zest.

Insalata di Rucola e Parmigiano Reggiano – When simply seasoned and paired with the king of aged cheeses, arugula is a fantastic pairing to a steak.

Cantina della Volta “Lambrusco di Sorbara” Brut Rosso - Rich red wine characteristics meet the light effervescence of a champagne-style sparkler. Ripe strawberry and cherry, blood orange, baking spice, and tangerine pith all culminate in a lip smacking finish. Refreshing, yet with a depth of flavor that can stand up to, and even improve upon, salami, pizza, and foods with some spice.

Pasta alla Norma - Delicious Sicilian pasta dish with eggplant, tomato sauce and basil, finished with Ricotta Salata cheese.

Cantina Ermes Epicentro Nero d'Avola Sicilia Riserva DOC - The wine itself is a powerful drink with an intense ruby-red color verging on violet. The bouquet is wide and elegant, with integrated mineral and wild fruit elements, mingling with delicate hints of cherry. The mouthfeel is sweet, ripe, and soft, with perceptible and well-balanced tannins. The aftertaste is fruit-filled, harmonic, long, and persistent.

Langhe Nascetta DOC - Casa E. di Mirafiore - Mirafiore Langhe Nascetta is the organic wine of the Mirafiore company produced with the native variety Nascetta in the Serralunga d'Alba area.
Beautiful straw yellow color with greenish reflections, it releases fleshy white fruits, apricot and elderberry on the nose with slow evolution towards aromatic herbs.

Our Story

My motto when it comes to food is: “keep it simple and be amazed!”. No need to complicate your life in the kitchen to achieve deliciousness!

My dishes are made with only a few but always fresh and top quality ingredients: it’s my golden rule! Plus, it’s the only way to go when you want to experience food as if you were actually in Italy.

Recipes are easy, so that it will be fun for you to make them again at home, to delight yourself and those you love.Our events are an opportunity to entertain at home in a fun and informal setting, cooking side by side with your Personal Chef, and then enjoying great food with your friends. Lots of fun, and no stress for the host either: our party formula includes shopping for the ingredients, providing cookware, all necessary tools and serving dishes, and leaving minimal after party clean-up behind. A CUCINAMORE cooking party is a great idea for groups, couples, birthday parties, bridal or baby showers, book club special events, team building activities and much more.
