From My Grandmother's Kitchen in Italy to Inclusive London Classrooms
I grew up in Italy in a home where cooking was part of everyday life and joy. Experimenting beside my grandmother, I discovered flavours, textures, and the tactile pleasure of creating something with my hands—a traditional foundation that still guides my teaching today.
Moving to London in 1986, I trained as a Dance Movement Therapist and spent over 25 years working with SEN children and adults across schools, colleges, nursing homes, and hospitals. I combine movement, sensory regulation, and kitchen creativity to help learners connect with their bodies and build motor confidence.
Specialising in inclusive education, I teach cookery and essential life skills to both mainstream and SEN audiences, including learners with PMLD (Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities), at Capital City College Group in London.
Author of The Eagle and the Parakeets
Beyond the kitchen, Anna is the author of the children's book The Eagle and the Parakeets, weaving themes of inclusivity, bravery, and friendship that reflect the values she brings to every cooking session.
Culinary & Therapeutic Philosophy:
"Cooking is not just about following a recipe—it is about rhythm, sensory comfort, and celebrating what each learner can do at their own pace."
