With a long line of influential chefs in her family, Daniela Maiorano spent her childhood rolling gnocchi in the restaurant opened by her great-grandfather after the second world war, and now run by her father Clemente in Sulmona, Abruzzo, Italy. Although she’s been surrounded by food all her life, she fell into the wrong crowd, became addicted to heroin and battled with it for a decade. But finding solace in hospitality, and new avenues to release negative energy she beat her addiction and is now building her own restaurant and organic farm in Northern New South Wales.
