Sophia Gallo

Bio

Originally from Cilento, a UNESCO heritage park in the southern Italian region of Campania, Sofia Gallo is an award winner private chef, cookery tutor and food writer, who took part in MasterChef UK in 2021 and the following year went onto winning the prestigious Inspiring Culinary Generations national competition. Her hospitality career spans across over 2 decades and 3 countries, but it was during the first lockdown that she started sharing her culinary heritage with the rest of the world. Sofia first started off by making recipe cards, they were initially aimed at the international guests who were unable to travel to her family’s holiday villa. She wanted to find a way for people to enjoy traditional Italian recipes, passed on, in the comfort of their own homes. From the recipe cards, she then moved on to making video content which was shared online and this then quickly turned in to virtual lessons with attendees from right across the globe. From Food festivals across the Country, exceptional reviews, enjoying being a Great Taste Judge, to accolades into The National Geographic, her goal is to open a classic Italian eatery with classes on the side.
