Judith Klinger splits her life between the hustle and energy of New York City and the ringing bells and slow pace of the medieval village of Montone, Italy. After running a successful apparel design company, she turned fulltime to her passion for food. She is currently the chef and co-owner of the recently reopened Erba Luna Ristorante in Montone, Italy, the chef and creator of Aroma Cucina, which provides various private dining, and learning experiences in Umbria, Italy. She has earned degrees from the New York Restaurant School, and Ital.Cook, a Slow Food institution located in Jesi, Italy where she attended master classes dedicated to the intricacies of regional Italian cooking. Throughout this development she created her web site AromaCucina.com and has developed an international following with her daily blog.
Never one to sit still, and a committed hedonist, Judith’s other interests include: culinary history and anthropology, bread baking, sharing meals with family and friends,
skiing, biking, playing outdoors, traveling, being in the mountains, swimming in the sea, wine and libations, and photography.
