Howzit...I’m Melissa, a Food Network Chef, author, host and motivational speaker. I believe abs are made in the kitchen, but in order to have a healthy body, you need a healthy soul.

I offer international cooking experiences, to passionate individuals who want to create mouthwatering dishes, under the Tuscan sun. I have created a series of two-minute videos in which I prepare quick, simple and delicious food.

I have three popular cookbooks in print,  and I'm currently working on three other books, one of which is a nutrition, fitness and wellness program.
