National Cheese Lovers Day is really a day for the chefs behind the pass 🧀

At NOMA Beach, cheese isn’t a garnish — it’s a decision. Melt, stretch, flavor, consistency, and performance all matter when you’re serving at volume and holding standards high.

That’s why we build dishes around quality ingredients we trust. Starting with Galbani Professionale US the number one cheese of italy it means cleaner melts, reliable texture, and flavor that stands on its own — whether it’s folded into a sauce or finished tableside.

This is cheese that works as hard as the kitchen does.

Proud to celebrate National Cheese Lovers Day with products made for chefs, not shortcuts 🤍

A little throwback just in time for Thanksgiving 🧡🍂�One of my favorite memories: joining Live with Kelly & Ryan and bringing my dad along to make our family’s beloved Thanksgiving sausage stuffing. Cooking with him on national TV was unforgettable - and the recipe is still a holiday staple in our home.

Sharing it here so you can enjoy it with your own families tomorrow 🤗

I love to celebrate espresso!

Celebrating National Espresso Day the NOMA way… with a little behind-the-scenes magic ☕✨

I was just about to start filming when Chef Chris pulled me aside to try his coconut miso honey — the secret touch in our Coconut Miso Shaken Espresso Martini, finished with edible chocolate coffee beans.
One sip… and I was instantly obsessed 😍🍸

Watch this beauty come together — silky, bold, and absolutely irresistible.

Cheers to all the espresso lovers out there! ☕🤎

RECIPE

1 ½ oz reposado tequila
1 oz hot fresh espresso
¾ oz Kahlúa
½ oz Coco López
½ tsp white miso (whisk smooth first)
¼ oz simple syrup
Dash of vanilla
Pinch of sea salt

Whisk the miso with a little Coco López, shake everything hard with ice, double strain into a chilled coupe, and garnish with toasted coconut and 3 coffee beans.

A little behind-the-scenes from our Galbani Professionale US photoshoot at NOMA 📸🧀✨

I love days like this - teaching a few of my go-to tricks for staging food so it looks as irresistible on camera as it does in person. From finding the right light to adding those final glossy touches… every detail matters.

It’s always a joy creating beautiful (and delicious!) moments with Galbani and my amazing NOMA team. 🙌💙�
