Gianni Gusto

Hi! I’m a 50-year-old Italian with a lifelong passion for cooking.

I started working in restaurants when I was just 14, and I’ve never stopped since. I come from a family that’s been in the food business since the 1960s—so you could say I was raised among ovens, pots, and the smell of freshly baked bread.

Over the years, I’ve run pizzerias, restaurants, and hotels, but my true passion lies in dough and leavened recipes, both sweet and savory. I love everything that takes time, care, and patience to become something truly delicious and authentic.

With my books, I want to share everything I’ve learned over the years: the little tricks no one tells you, the mistakes that taught me more than any recipe, and a genuine love for simple, soulful, honest food.

If you love to cook, experiment, and discover the secrets behind a perfect pizza or a loaf of heartfelt bread… you’re in the right place.

Welcome to my kitchen!
