Hello! My name is Anessa.
I have always been surrounded by food. Sunday dinners were always something to look forward to, with plates of my grandmother’s Eggplant Parmigiana and my Baka’s signature Banica. Summer days would be spent in Serbia, Croatia, and occasionally Macedonia with my Baka, Deda, mom, aunt, siblings, and cousin.
On Food Finessa, you can find recipes, photos, and short films that highlight Italian and southern European cuisine as well as dishes that I grew up with in the United States northeast. I love photography so I do my best to create stories of food that is both tasty and beautiful.
I hope you enjoy your time on Food Finessa.
I am a freelance food editor, and if you would like, you can view my work here and check out my photography portfolio here. For freelance/editorial services, please contact me at anessapetteruti@gmail.com.
