My name is Armando Merola, I am 25 years old, I am from  Maddaloni in the province of Caserta.

Already at the age of 14 I loved being in the kitchen, so I decided to start in the institute  of maddaloni, the Villaggio Dei Ragazzi, here I met my mentor, chef Giuseppe Daddio. He was able to take me with his hand to the real world of cooking. After 10 years I still find myself by his side. In the kitchen as in life there is always to be improved.

​

I am in the kitchen of the Dolce e Salato training school, I will prepare my own recipe, which has a seasonal and territorial imprint. I was inspired by Caprese cuisine.  From 2017 to 2019 I was able to work on the most beautiful island in the world, Capri! I carry with me its colors, its scents and above all their traditions. Here I present the Raviolo Caprese.
