Self-taught home-cook teaching classic Italian dishes

Laura Vitale, the culinary powerhouse behind Laura in the Kitchen, has transformed the way we approach home cooking. Born in Naples, Italy, Laura’s passion for food blossomed early. At the tender age of 12, she moved with her family to the United States, where her love affair with the kitchen truly ignited.

Laura’s journey became clear for her when she worked alongside her father in their family restaurants in New Jersey. With no formal culinary training, she embarked on a mission: to create recipes that everyday cooks could follow. And thus, Laura in the Kitchen was born.

Laura’s YouTube channel, Laura in the Kitchen, now boasts an impressive 3,9 million subscribers. But it’s not just about the numbers; it’s about the connection she shares with her viewers. Laura’s warmth, authenticity, and genuine love for food make her more than an influencer. She’s a trusted friend in our kitchens. Which is probably why she got to lead her own cooking show on the Cooking Channel network.

But besides the usual suspects from the Italian cuisine, what else does Laura in the Kitchen share with us?Well, there are the Comfort Classics: Whether it’s her gooey mac ‘n’ cheese or the ultimate zuppa toscana, she infuses each recipe with heart and flavor. Fancy something more with a bite? Try her 10-minute garlic chili noodles. Quick, easy, and bursting with flavor, these noodles are a weeknight hero. And let’s not forget about the sammies. Laura’s sandwich game is legendary. Her Monte Cristo sandwiches are the stuff of dreams. And the cheddar bacon biscuits. Biscuits. With bacon. And cheddar.
