INTERVIEW By Federica Serva How would you define in a few words the pastry chef Ilaria Castellaneta? Creative, passionate and perfectionist. I aim for excellence, and these are fundamental char- acteristics in the pastry arts which I approached while studying at university. It was love at first sight. It won me over and caused me to leave the Liberal Arts School to go on to study ingredients and dessert recipes. The winner of the 2023 Pastry Queen World Championship held in Rimini discusses memories of her preparation, emotions during the competition and her plans for the future, all in light of her great determination. the new queen of desserts Ilaria Castellaneta Image by Studio23 Martina Acanfora Photographer 17
