  • SAN PIETRO VERNOTICO, ITALY - 4 APRIL 2014: Fresh orecchiette and cavatelli pasta are cooked at the Stile Mediterraneo cooking school in San Pietro Vernotico, Italy, on April 4th 2014.<br />
<br />
Mrs Rascazzo, an extra virgin oil taster, wine sommelier and Harvard MBA who worked for Goldman Sachs in New York and London, quit investment banking several years ago to “do something to help my region”.“When I was living abroad I always noticed that only Tuscany and Northern Italian regions were getting all of the attention,” said Ms. Rascazzo. “Nobody knew about Puglia or our way of eating, or our wines, or our producers. It was just Mafia, pizza spaghetti--the usual things associated with the south.” Today she conducts food tours, leads visits to local producers and oversees cooking classes, where guests learn to make orecchiette, sweet-and-sour bell peppers, cakes with ricotta cheese and much besides. She is frequently joined by her sister, who draws on her medical background to impart scientific and nutritional details about the dishes. Dr. Rascazzo’s recipes and information come together in her English ebook, “The Cuisine of Southern Italian Women: Mediterranean Secrets for a Healthy and Happy Life.”

  • SAN PIETRO VERNOTICO, ITALY - 4 APRIL 2014: Cinzia Rascazzo (40), founder of a Lecce cooking and food-tour outfit called Stile Mediterraneo, adds local olive oil to the fresh orecchiette and cavatelli pasta with tomato sauce, caciocavallo cheese and basil she prepared with her sister and business partner Marika (42, cardiologist) and their mother Dina (68, retired school teacher) at her parents' home and school location in San Pietro Vernotico, Italy, on April 4th 2014.<br />
<br />
Mrs Rascazzo, an extra virgin oil taster, wine sommelier and Harvard MBA who worked for Goldman Sachs in New York and London, quit investment banking several years ago to “do something to help my region”.“When I was living abroad I always noticed that only Tuscany and Northern Italian regions were getting all of the attention,” said Ms. Rascazzo. “Nobody knew about Puglia or our way of eating, or our wines, or our producers. It was just Mafia, pizza spaghetti--the usual things associated with the south.” Today she conducts food tours, leads visits to local producers and oversees cooking classes, where guests learn to make orecchiette, sweet-and-sour bell peppers, cakes with ricotta cheese and much besides. She is frequently joined by her sister, who draws on her medical background to impart scientific and nutritional details about the dishes. Dr. Rascazzo’s recipes and information come together in her English ebook, “The Cuisine of Southern Italian Women: Mediterranean Secrets for a Healthy and Happy Life.”

  • ROME, ITALY - 3 JULY 2016: (L-R) Gipsy Queen members Darmaz Florentina (33), Micescu Mieila (49),  Aninfa Hokic (31), Maria Miglescu (20) and Codruta Balteau, (24) pose for a group photo in front of the Astra 19 social center where they gathered to cook for their food stand at the iFest, an alternative music festival in Rome, Italy, on July 3rd 2016.<br />
<br />
The Gipsy Queens are a travelling catering business founded by Roma women in Rome.<br />
<br />
In 2015 Arci Solidarietà, an independent association for the promotion of social development, launched the “Tavolo delle donne rom” (Round table of Roma women) to both incentivise the process of integration of Roma in the city of Rome and to strengthen the Roma women’s self-esteem in the context of a culture tied to patriarchal models. The “Gipsy Queens” project was founded by ten Roma women in July 2015 after an event organised together with Arci Solidarietà in the Candoni Roma camp in the Magliana, a neighbourhood in the South-West periphery of Rome, during which people were invited to dance and eat Roma cuisine. The goal of the Gipsy Queen travelling catering business is to support equal opportunities and female entrepreneurship among Roma women, who are often relegated to the roles of wives and mothers.
