Aroma Cucina offers personal chef services, classes and tastings in New York and Italy.

Judith Klinger and Jeff Albucher split their life between the hustle and energy of New York City and the ringing bells and slow pace of the medieval village of Montone, Italy.

After running a successful apparel design company, they turned fulltime to their passion for food. Judith Klinger is the chef and creator of Aroma Cucina, which provides various private dining, and learning experiences in Umbria, Italy. She has earned culinary degrees from the New York Restaurant School, and Ital.Cook, a Slow Food institution located in Jesi, Italy where she attended master classes dedicated to the intricacies of regional Italian cooking. AromaCucina.com has developed an international clientele who visit regularly on our daily blog.

Jeff Albucher is now able to devote himself to his lifelong passion to food and wine. He assists Judith in creating fun memorable dining experiences in Italy and New York. He is currently studying the art of the cocktail and is a devoted mixologist.

Never ones to sit still, Judith and Jeff are committed hedonists, and bon vivants, but also firm believers that we must eat and drink responsibily and take care of our planet for future generations. We love to travel, play outside, and share the pleasures of the table with our friends, new and old.
