In Cucina con Sofia is led by Sofia Gallo, a MasterChef UK 2021 contestant and Italian private chef who specializes in authentic Italian cuisine. Originally from the UNESCO National Park of Cilento in Southern Italy, Sofia combines traditional family recipes learned from her ‘nonna’ with modern culinary techniques, working as a private chef, cookery teacher, recipe developer, content creator, and food stylist.

Sofia creates bespoke dining experiences, bringing restaurant-quality Italian cuisine to intimate settings with impeccable presentation and styling. She offers immersive, hands-on Italian cooking classes and develops authentic recipes and engaging food content that showcase flavour, tradition, and creativity.

What makes her service exceptional is the complete cultural immersion she provides – from her “night in Rome” themed dinners with authentic Italian music to her passionate storytelling about traditional techniques like fresh pasta making. Her therapeutic approach to food preparation, combined with her community involvement (including charity work with local Milton Keynes organizations), creates unforgettable culinary journeys that transport guests to Italy while supporting local causes.
