Mamma Rita Cucina Italiana

Ciao! Bonjour! Hello! My name is Rita Ferrante, and I am a proud mother, a joyful grandmother, and a passionate chef. I have been cooking italian meals with my mom since the age of 7 in my native Abruzzo, Italy, and in my adopted home, Montreal Canada. I fulfilled a life long dream, and became a restaurant owner, with much success at two different locations in Montreal. I have also been featured on a French broadcast of "Sur la terrasse" on at least 3 occasions where I have been interviewed while I prepared an authentic italian meal. (I will post my videos at the bottom of this post.) I also ran a successful cooking school for single parents through a community-run program here in Quebec. How satisfying it is for me to see students who acquire confidence in the kitchen, and easily make healthy, and delicious meals instead of ordering take-out! I enjoyed several summers as the executive chef at the 127-year-old prestigious "Club de chasse et pêche Lac nord"...
