Always passionate about cooking, Michelle started her chef career in 2006 in Melbourne.
With the desire to discover “la cucina italiana”, specifically Abruzzese, she decided to leave Melbourne in 2012 on a search for her heritage in Abruzzo.
While there Michelle worked as a professional chef combining her cooking experience from Australia with “la cucina abruzzese” to gain knowledge of the culture in which her family embraced.
After 6 years she came back to Australia bringing the “Abruzzese” food adventure with her and opened Abruzzo Lab street food in 2017 and to follow Abruzzo Lab – Arrosticini Bar in 2018.
