Chef Cristina Lunardini

Cristina Lunardini was born in Rimini, and learnt the art and mastery of cooking in the most renowned Italian schools for hospitality and cuisine. She has been one of the most popular personalities of Alice.tv for ten years now with the show “Le mani in Pasta” (literally "hands in dough" TN), where she tells all the secrets of handmade pasta, both sweet and savoury. She has written several articles for the magazine “Più dolci”, and is the editor of the column “Romagna Mia” published in the monthly magazine of Alice Cucina. Thanks to her professional training, she has worked with the most renowned international cooking academies, and she is currently collaborating with the Icook school in Cesena on a regular basis. When she was asked to describe her relationship with cooking, she answered: “Cooking has never been just a job to me but it's a fundamental part of life. It has always meant sharing important moments: donating food that you've cooked with your own hands is one of the most heartfelt gestures of affection."
