Serena… in name and in fact!
Who I am
My name is Serena Codognola, known in the culinary world as Chez Morandi. I’m here to share my expertise and passion for food with individuals and businesses alike.
I call myself an ‘accountant cook’—before diving into the culinary field, I worked in business and administration. These experiences have allowed me to blend practical knowledge with my love for cooking, along with my naturally sunny and open character!
Today, I work as a personal chef, event moderator, and cooking class organizer, while also partnering with various businesses as a Food Ambassador, content creator, and consultant. I always bring a smile, precision, professionalism, and reliability—qualities I consider essential when I step into the homes and businesses of my clients.
My mission? Promote authentic cuisine, revisited in a healthy way, with an eye on seasonality and completeness of the dish: both nutritionally and in terms of taste. I love discovering the territory through the producers, from whom I buy the raw materials to bring them into my recipes!
My values
Every dish is an opportunity to tell a story, to convey an emotion, and to reveal a part of oneself. A recipe isn’t just a list of ingredients—it’s a way of sharing oneself completely, both in the kitchen and in life.
Humility, integrity and competence are the values that I try to bring into every daily action, with the added value of creativity and a vitality… contagious! By nature I am very expansive, I like to look on the bright side of things and transmit my cheerfulness to those around me. With the awareness that every experience can be an opportunity to learn something new.
My motto? Be serene and smile: Chez Morandi will take care of you!
