His passion for cooking began when he was a boy. He spent a lot of time with his grandmother in the kitchen, sometimes helping when he could. “My grandmother loved to spend her time in the kitchen,” says Amedeo. “She also had the best recipes in the world, and,” he adds with a sparkle in his eye, “she was eager to share her secret cooking tips with me.”
However, there’s no secret when it comes to Chef Amedeo’s success. Since those early days in Grandma’s kitchen, he has trained extensively and worked very hard to become an outstanding culinary artist. During his 18-year career, he has also gained considerable international experience: apart from in Europe, he’s honed his skills in Australia, the Middle East and now Asia.
