Maria Battaglia's Bio Maria Battaglia is a journalist, teacher, founder and President of La Cucina Italiana SM, is a bi-lingual (English/Italian) authority on Italian food, wine and tourism. She learned her craft and honed her skills in a most unique, unconventional fashion: packed her belongings and set off for Italy, where she lived, studied, researched, and fell in love with the Italian way of life. She is regarded as a leading authority on Italian food and wine. She is currently contributing regional articles, recipes and photographs for Alta Cucina Society's web site. Maria has traversed the Italian peninsula and has immersed herself in the culture, the language, the people and Italian lifestyle. She has developed, directed and taught culinary courses all across Italy, which she considers her greatest joy and passion in life. Maria also conducts lectures and seminars on Italian food both in the U.S. and Italy. Her profound knowledge of Italian gastronomy, coupled with an inherent love for Italian food and wine, has earned her the respect and admiration of people from all corners of the globe - people who share her passion for some of the finest food and wine to be found anywhere. She is also an accomplished and decorated food writer, and syndicated restaurant reviewer, and correspondent. Her work has appeared in newspapers and magazines including, Food & Wine Magazine, Santé, Magazine and Vinotizi. In addition to her publishing-related work, Maria Battaglia has been a consultant and spokesperson for various Italian and American companies. The Honorable Richard M. Daley, Mayor of Chicago, Illinois, appointed Maria to the Milan-Chicago Sister City committee. She is a delegate for the Accademia Italiana della Cucina of Milan, Italy, to the U.S. and is a long-standing member of the vaunted Les Dames d'Escoffier International an organization of women leaders for excellence in the food, beverage and hospitality professions. Maria is also a member of Research Chefs Association, IACP and Slow Food, a movement which is dear to her heart, for she believes that good food and wine should do more than merely fill the void; it should be enjoyed and savored and respected as works of culinary art.
