Cristiana, native from Savona (Italy), received all her baking training in Canada and in the US. She joined the National Bakery School in September 2018, after a four-year teaching experience with Le Cordon Bleu culinary institute and another 12 years in the culinary field, before that.
Cristiana’s classes are fun, engaging and well organized: her passion and genuine approach are perfect to deliver interesting and perfectly hosted lessons which would suit every level of baking and pastry experience.
