Simone Agostino

Hi, I’m Simone, a passionate home cook, cookbook author, and food enthusiast who believes that the best meals are the ones that bring people together. Over the years, I’ve turned my love for food into a career, writing cookbooks, hosting pasta workshops, larger scale cooking demonstrations and just simply sharing the joy of cooking with others.

I’m not a professionally trained chef by any means—rather I’m a self-taught home cook who has learnt in the warmth of my own kitchen, perfecting my skills with every shared meal and experiment.

My journey is not about mastering techniques; it’s about connecting people to the heart of home cooking with ease and comfort. My passion lies in creating simple yet sincere dishes that nourish both body and soul. I love the way food can tell a story, evoke memories, and bring comfort even on the toughest days. My purpose is to inspire others to cook with confidence, and to show that creating beautiful meals doesn’t have to be complicated. I want to remind people that a shared table is where real connections happen.

I’ve hosted countless cooking classes, teaching the art of fresh pasta and more to people who want to cook with joy and creativity. My experience is rooted in years of home cooking, writing, and sharing recipes that make people feel excited to get into the kitchen. Through my cookbooks, workshops, and online presence, I’ve built a community of food lovers who share my belief that food is more than just sustenance—it’s a way to come home, to ourselves and to each other.

I’m proud of what I’ve created, but my biggest achievement is the community that’s grown around my kitchen table. I’m here to show that cooking can be approachable, fun, and deeply meaningful, no matter where you’re starting from—I hope to welcome you into my world of warm kitchens, shared stories, and meals that taste like home.
