Transport your senses to Italy with this savory,

music-filled cooking demo.

with traditional techniques.

  • Hate measuring but love flavor

  • Have ADHD brains that get bored fast (yes, we pace it right)

  • Want to impress guests without stressing out

  • Learn better by doing than reading a recipe alone

“It was a pleasure and a privilege to have worked with Elena Star”

Elena Star helped us form our menu utilizing common ingredients when creating our dishes so as to minimize waste and expenses starting up. Her chef/restauranteur background was valuable as she even developed food plans, family meals for customers way ahead of the unforseen pandemic trend, and we tailored them to the customer’s dietary needs.

It was a pleasure and a privilege to have worked with Elena Star, and an experience I will always treasure.
