As a young man, Sacha learned to create the complex dishes that had been passed down from generations of famiglia Ratti. The time spent with extended family and friends savoring the lovingly-prepared meals formed lasting bonds and deep relationships. The aroma and taste of each dish invariably prompted story-telling about Ratti family ancestors that lasted long into the evening. According to Sacha, meals culminated with everyone feeling a sense of belonging and peace.
Listening to him tell of the hours he spent in the kitchen selecting ingredients and preparing food with his nonna and mamma made both Sacha and wife, Pamela, long to recreate those food-rich and story-filled years for their twin girls -- and for anyone seeking comfort and a sense of community. This is why Chef Sacha does what he does!
