Liliana D'urso

Liliana D'Urso, who was born in Venaria Reale and has lived in Turin, embarked on her culinary journey at the Istituto Alberghiero di Torino, where she graduated. Her initial passion for cooking took a turn when she discovered new interests in the world of fashion and art, which further sharpened her creativity. This evolution led to a temporary career change, but it did not dampen her love for gastronomy.
The turning point came when she met a chef who brought her back to the restaurant world, renewing her dedication to the culinary arts. That meeting, which occurred nearly two decades ago, marked the beginning of a new phase in her life. Today, Lilli has not only married that man, but together they have built a family with three children and developed significant skills in event and catering management.
With a unique combination of artistic sensibility and culinary expertise, together with the Dali training team, Lilli is able to create dishes that are not only visually appealing but also gastronomically innovative.
Her ability to fuse aesthetics and flavor has given birth to a new path, that of leavened goods, drawing from Mom Giovanna's back ground she began to interpret classic Sunday pizza pans into culinary offerings that capture the essence of her experience and passion.
This holistic approach to cooking has not only enriched his professional life, but has also given him the opportunity to begin delivering amateur training for novices and enthusiasts in the world of leavening.
His commitment to his craft is an example of how passion, when fueled by meaningful experiences and encounters, can flourish into a successful career. Her story is a reminder that a person's career path can take many directions, but with dedication, desired goals can be achieved.

His career as a chef has been an incredible journey, a path studded with experiences that have enriched his professional and personal background. From traditional kitchens, where he honed classic techniques and learned the importance of quality ingredients, he has moved on to roles that have seen me innovate and experiment, pushing him beyond the boundaries of conventional cuisine. As a consultant, he has had the opportunity to pass on my passion and knowledge, helping restaurants start and grow, and developing products that reflect his culinary philosophy.
