Laura first arrived at Spannocchia in the summer of 2019 as the inaugural Culinary Apprentice, and then returned to live and work at Spannocchia over two years ago. In that time, she has become an integral part of the Spannocchia team, bringing her wonderful range of culinary experiences, hospitality, and project management to various facets of our work. Most notably, she wrote Spannocchia's new cookbook with Daniela, and worked closely with Silvia and artist Linda Warner Constantino on layout, design, and production. If you have been lucky enough to take a cooking class at Spannocchia recently, or eat in the restaurant on a Monday night, you have had the opportunity to benefit from Laura’s talents.

Laura will spend two weeks in the US with us, hosting events in Philadelphia, New York City, and Maine. Check out the full event schedule below, and—if you are in the area—please join us! We look forward to spending time with our wonderful US-based Spannocchia community throughout our travels.
