My story starts in the southern Italian region of Napoli and has travelled through Moscow, South Korea, Hong Kong and now London. Working as a freelance cooking instructor and consultant I have brought the traditionally authentic Italian cuisine across the continents.
Many years ago, when I first put a pan on the stove, I fell in love. Since then I have been bringing my little Italy en route and perfecting the art of cooking all’Italiana. Teaching, catering, last minute takeaways or professional consultancy is what I do best. My theory lies on preparing deliciously genuine recipes like my mother and grandmother used to make them. Hand-me-down recipes mean that the secret of cooking Italian specialities is still possible. But tradition also needs a little boost so I added an extra ingredient; creativity. With a little dose of DIY I have blended our history with modern times always keeping the menus and their presentation fresh and up-to-date.

My name is Loredana but everyone calls me Lori. Originally from Roma I have recently moved to this capital full of energy and enthusiasm. Back in my hometown I was involved for many years in the organisation of events. Weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, meetings, conferences... you name it, I did it. My Midas touch lies in the decoration of the venues. From tables to chandeliers, from flowers to gardens, I can make your dream come true. By careful consultations and in depth understanding I unleash your creativity and imagination making your vision a reality. And because I like to be part of the entire process, over the years I have spent many hours with chefs and caterers and have learnt the tricks of that trade too. The traditions of cooking regional Italian dishes are no longer a mystery for me and through practice- makes- perfect the art of entertaining is now complete.
Cinzia Cenedese TEL: +44(0)7880 778 412
Born and raised in Milan, I have always been attracted by all things different. Research and development have always been my drive. Growing up Mamma Iris was my first inspiration where I fervently absorbed her golden touch. In my 20’s I married a banker and life just changed. Living in Moscow, Texas, New York along with a brief stint in Egypt, has given me the opportunity to explore and mix and match cultures, ingredients and most importantly flavours. In my kitchen déjà-vue is not part of my vocabulary. Dishes are always metamorphosing in my cauldron and I love to experiment, to create. New cuisines and alternative recipes fuse into my Northern Italian heritage to create original and fabulous nuances. But I don’t stop behind the hobs. Table decoration and subsequently entertaining is second nature to my spicy personality. To me it’s not a duty but a pleasure and I am always the first to organise a party.
WHAT THEY SAY
“Hello. I am M.Y who took your cooking class last Friday. It was very good time for me, I really enjoyed with you. All dishes are beautiful and you three are very cheerful person”. M.Y
“Today was really good! Lovely zucchini dish - really tasty from simple ingredients, and watching you cook it really does trigger lots of idea's about what other ingredients to try it with. In fact, the same is true for the chicken with sage dish.
I find it is one of the main benefits of watching you cook- it leaves me free to think of all sorts of other flavours while absorbing your techniques. And so professionally done but fun too.
You will see me again soon!" A
