Mary Ann Mango Flatt divides her creative passions between the cutting board and the keyboard. Classically trained as a pianist at Crane School of Music SUNY Potsdam, she learned the joys of old-school Italian food and table from the women in her Italian family. She always pursued both - music professionally and food with friends and family. Mary Ann deepened her knowledge and elevated her skills in modern Italian cuisine with extensive studies at the Italian Culinary Institute in New York and Emilia-Romagna, Italy and practiced in the kitchen of Pashá Ristorante in Puglia.  currently, she brings together her “Old School meets New School” philosophy as a private chef teaching and orchestrating intimate gatherings in Northern, NJ and Scottsdale, AZ . Currently in the heart of Sonoma Wine Country, she is the private chef for DW Winery conducting their bimonthly “2013 Wine Maker Dinner Series”.
