Rocco schipano was born in toronto, ontario. his parents raised him through eight canadian winters before they felt their native home calling them. and so, after much thought, Rocco and his family picked up their lives and moved back to italy. they moved back home. Rocco’s italian upbringing was challenging but fulfilling. during summer breaks, to help out his family, he worked in construction, where the seeds were planted for along and illustrious design career. every day after school and work, Rocco would return home exhausted. but he would be revived by the warm scent of baking bread, roasted tomatoes, and freshly made pasta.

Everyone in his town farmed and gardened, and Rocco’s family was no different. they were surrounded by nature; Rocco learned how to cultivate tasty ingredients, and gained a deep appreciation for high-quality food. each day, without fail, Rocco would drop his things and rush into the kitchen to help his family cook, knowing that fresh,

Delicious food brings joy to a family like few other things.

Eventually it came time to leave the nest, and Rocco joined the military. after completing his service, he faced a wide-open world, full of opportunity. he decided to move back to canada, to connect with the place that he called home so long ago. he began attending school at george brown college, working towards his degree in architectural technology, nurturing and developing the design skills and passions he had picked up working in construction.

After graduating in 2006, Rocco went into business for himself, as a freelance designer, project manager, and estimator. he loved the freedom and flexibility, but it meant that he was on the road constantly. and one of the hardest parts, he found, was figuring out what to eat. he found himself eating cheap, low-quality fast food simply because it was
