THE WORD NOMADE TALKS ABOUT US, ABOUT OUR PERSONAL STORY THAT HAS BROUGHT US HERE, THROUGH VARIOUS BIOGRAPHICAL ROUTES.

Pasto Nomade
Founders

CRISTINA FIORESE

I was born in Bassano del Grappa and am Bolognese by adoption, mother of Isaac and Carolina, passionate about "sweet things", that I have always been cooking to establish a contact with others. I love building human and social relationships and I have a strong sensitivity for environmental issues and civil rights. I like the idea of a "right food", so as a parent I contribute to improve the quality of school meals services in my city. I am passionate about photography, design and storytelling.

PINA SIOTTO

I was born in the center of Sardinia, in a family where the self-production of food and the circular economy were the normal management of resources. Arriving in Bologna at a very young age to attend the University, I immediately met the emerging culture of natural cooking, which led me to change my shopping list. The encounter between tradition and innovation is the common thread of my approach to vegetable cooking, which I have been practicing and teaching for about twenty years. I look for the essential in every form of life.

How Pasto Nomade started

During the first months of the 2020 pandemic, we found ourselves closed and far away, and we felt the need to stay in touch with others and build a community more strongly than ever. Everyone from their own homes, in different parts of the world, we virtually met to cook together. Sharing such a strong and extraordinary experience has generated the desire to create a take-away cooking service based on respect, transparency and the urgency of preserving biodiversity and the ecosystem.
