Imagine a setting in Bologna, Italy, during the 1950s and 1960s, when a vibrant food culture was a way of life. The annual St. Petronio’s Feast featured food stalls with local cooks showcasing traditional dishes. A group of talented chefs, known as Cucinova, presented iconic specialties such as tagliatelle al ragù (Bolognese sauce), tortellini, and mortadella. Drawing inspiration from the 17th-century chef Antonio Latini, author of Lo Scalco alla Moderna, they crafted recipes that blended Old World traditions with New World ingredients, such as tomatoes, laying the foundation for Italy’s renowned pasta sauces and its global culinary influence.

The name Cucinova, blending “cucina” (Italian for kitchen or cuisine) with “nova” (evoking innovation), reflects our commitment to reimagining culinary tools for today’s home cooks, transforming every kitchen into a space of creativity, precision, and joy, where each meal celebrates the fusion of tradition and innovation.
