Greet 2019 in Italian style!
Chef Laura Bernardi Piovesana
Bid farewell to 2018 a little early at Felice Anno Nuovo, where you will enjoy an authentic Italian dinner planned and prepared by Chef Laura Bernardi Piovesana, owner of the Italian Wooden Spoon.
Chef Piovesana learned Italian cuisine at her grandmother’s apron while growing up in Conegliano in the Veneto region of Italy.
In Milan, Piovesana had a flourishing career as a marketing manager for major corporations including Disney and Warner Brothers before she and her husband, Dr. Giovanni Piovesana, a cardiothoracic surgeon, moved to Texas eight years ago.
A marketing and PR management consultant who works independently on projects to develop the “Made in Italy” market in the U.S., she also found a career that emphasizes her love of cooking in the authentic Italian style she learned from her mother and grandmother. After conducting some cooking classes for friends in Texas, Chef Piovesana decided to make it a business, The Italian Wooden Spoon.
The Piovesanas then moved to Albany, bringing her marvelous cuisine and classes to the Good Life City. In high demand, she frequently returns to Texas to conduct cooking classes. Participants in those classes quickly learn her three biggest rules -- taste, smile and always use a wooden spoon.
Piovesana has created a special menu for this dinner that will be held at the Albany Museum of Art. After Felice Anno Nuovo, we guarantee you’ll greet 2019’s arrival with a hearty, “Buon anno!”
