About the host
Hosted by Nelly Capra
Hello, my name is Nelly. I was born and lived in Genova until about 25 years ago and then I moved to Los Altos, California in the San Francisco Bay Area. In Genova I owned one of the most traditional and well known food specialty stores: Torte e Farinata Antica Sciamadda. In the US I have been teaching Italian cooking and culture for two decades and lead culinary tours in various Italian regions. My passion is to cook, preferably with others. So, if interested, I can teach guests a few things during their stay. Another passion is "home". I love to make guests feel at home and create a "home away from home" for them.
