Missing the simplistic and natural recipes of Italy, Ms. Liberati began formally studying the Art of Italian Cooking in Italy. She regularly consults with food companies, does special guest appearances at culinary events, TV programs, magazine interviews and features throughout US and Italy, as well as consulting for many food companies. Today, she shares her love of Italian foods through numerous public appearances, her blog, podcasts (www.marialiberati.com), and best selling books, which are a compilation of recipes and heart-warming stories from her life. Currently Ms. Liberati divides her time between Italy and the United States and is working on her second book.
