Serena Mariani
London
Serena’s passion for food was born in the kitchen with her Grandad in Italy. At the age of five, she dissed the toy oven powered by a light bulb for the grown up version. Since then she’s lived in Rome, Milan, Belgium, Morocco, the U.S. and currently London, always carrying some extra virgin olive oil in her luggage.
A digital marketer and PM by day, blogger by night, Serena writes about the London food scene, culture and travel on her blog “Into The F World” and edits the “LoveAbruzzo” website about her Italian homeland.
Chilli addict, pan-Asian food lover, Serena dislikes diets and queuing for restaurants. Her biggest achievement to date? Making Grandad into a YouTube sensation.
