Who is Christian Turra?

Hi, I'm Christian Turra, I was born in 1995 in Valle D'Aosta.

Despite my young age, I have a very broad vision of cuisine thanks to European experiences and oriental travels. After completing my studies at the Châtillon hotel school, I gained experience in starred restaurants in France, Spain and Milan, including El Celler De Can Roca in Girona and Il Luogo di Aimo e Nadia, one of the most important symbols of Italian culture of food. In these restaurants, the chefs were severe masters for me who trained me and made me understand that cooking is a subject to be approached with extreme discipline, dedication and imagination.

My entire journey has given me the opportunity to discover different ingredients, to respect them, paying attention to their origin and to treat them in the right way.

In 2019 and 2020, I participated in the television program, Cuochi d'Italia, a regional championship of traditional cuisine, where I reached 2nd place (Pssss.. I've beaten all of Abruzzo but this remains between us!)
