MY STORY

Samantha Cusano

About Cuzy

Welcome to Cuzy’s Table! I’m a Montreal-based private chef, recipe developer, and culinary creative who believes food is one of the best ways to bring people together. Growing up in an Italian family, food was always at the centre of everything. From Sunday dinners at my Nonna’s house filled with big plates of food, loud conversations, and family stories, I’ve always loved the feeling that there was room for one more person at the table. 

After training at ITHQ and spending 10+ years in the culinary world, I create memorable food experiences through private dining, grazing tables, custom menus, and signature desserts. For me, it’s never just about the food, it’s about the people, the moments, and the memories made around the table.

Childhood

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Food has always been part of my story. Growing up in an Italian family, my Nonna’s kitchen was the heart of our home, filled with family, stories, and unforgettable meals.

At 12 years old, I already knew I wanted to become a chef. It’s special seeing that childhood dream become my reality.
