Italia con gusto e amore

Lover of life, mother, fond of Italy and, as a food lover, passionate about cooking, eating and drinking. Annette Canini Daems got married in Italy with Giovanni and moved to Tuscany at the time for her work at Thomas More University where she supervised journalism exchange students. In 2006 she was made an honorary citizen of Sinalunga because of the socially relevant projects she did for its community. Her children Ramona, Vittorio and Lorena went to school there with the so-called ‘suore’ or sisters. And then there are her many Tuscan friends. The ‘Amici della Chianina’, (friends association around the Chianina breed of cattle) her olive farmer neighbour and some local chefs that immersed her in their culture and their haunting stories. After Thomas More, she became a researcher at Brussels Free University. Annette is always curious and eager for new challenges. In Antwerp (Belgium), she ran with great passion and dedication the Italian caterer and delicatessen Sette Piatti, which continues to charm the Italophiles. Annette gives lectures, cooking classes and tasting sessions on the origins of Italian cuisine.
