Since her time in the Bake Off shed, Vanessa has continued to share her passion for food through The Modern Day Nonna, cooking demonstrations, events and collaborations. Her approach is all about taking old-world flavours and traditions and bringing them to the modern table in a way that feels approachable, fun and achievable. Whether she’s making traditional Italian biscuits, fresh pasta or getting kids into the kitchen, Vanessa believes food is about so much more than what’s on the plate, it’s about connection, storytelling and creating memories with the people you love.
