Chef Mariangela Ruggiero

Welcome to my channel!
I’m Mariangela Ruggiero, an Italian chef and Culinary Director, sharing my passion for cooking from my home kitchen in Kyoto, Japan.
During the pandemic, I cooked from my house in Sardinia, connecting with people through live streams on social media. It was a time of real, heartfelt cooking and community.
Now, this project is evolving. From Sardinia to Kyoto, my kitchen remains the heart of everything I do.
Here begins “Two worlds, one kitchen” – the soul of this channel and my new podcast: a journey through Japanese ingredients and Italian tradition, personal stories and fusion recipes.
I speak in Italian, but you’ll find English subtitles (and soon Japanese ones too).
Every video is filmed by me, in my kitchen, with simplicity and passion.
If you love authentic cooking, cultural blends, and stories that smell like home… you’re in the right place.
