ABOUT

Welcome. I’m Cristian Marino, an Italian Executive Chef, Culinary Consultant and Author with more than 25 years of international experience in hospitality.

From Italy to the Maldives, my career has taken me through hotels, resorts, restaurants and cruise ships across Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

This website brings together my culinary consulting work, my books, my personal reflections and my passion for Italian cuisine, travel and healthy living.

For me, food has always been more than a profession. It is culture, discipline, identity and a way to connect with people across the world.

Explore my work and discover the journey behind my cuisine, my projects and my writing.
