Born and raised in Bologna, Chef Fred's culinary journey began at a young age, learning traditional family recipes and skills from his grandmother's kitchen and his father's butcher shop. After studying in the U.S and Australia, Chef Fred returned to Italy to continue his culinary journey. Each recipe that he crafts or teaches includes lessons learned around the world, with a special flare for traditional Italian flavors and methods.
