 Back as far as Valter can remember he has always been in the kitchen! He has a photograph of himself at the age of 10 in a chef’s uniform at carnival time when all the other Italian children are dressed as cowboys, Indians, spacemen, etc). His mother encouraged him always in his choices.
Valter started in the profession at the age of 15 as soon as he had qualified at chef’s college working in a hotel kitchen on the border between Austria and Italy. One of his first working memories is being in charge of salads and having to go out each morning to pick salad from the garden. 
Valter studied professionally at the “Istituto Alberghiero di Casargo,” a culinary institute on the border between Italy and Austria.
Over the years and throughout his travels he has worked alongside and trained with many chefs, building up his own particular style of cooking. In London, Valter met Ugo
Amato, a renowned pastry chef, who influenced and encouraged him to specialize in pastry; working together for 2 years in the preparation of some the most amazing cakes, including cakes and pastries for the British royal family.
