Laura Tobin | Your Guardian Chef

Meet Laura Tobin, your Guardian Angel in the kitchen. With 200 recipes and over 50 videos showing how to make traditional Mediterranean dishes, she can motivate even the most reluctant cooks!

Laura is an Italian national growing up in Rome and vacationing in Southern Italy, Laura's passion for food and cooking began as a child, when she accompanied her mother to Cordon Bleu cooking classes.  Those early experiences fueled an ongoing love of food and launched her inspiring culinary journey.

As an adult, Laura has traveled the world, whether for pleasure or to relocate to foreign countries. With each new culture came a new and intriguing cuisine to discover and master.

Eventually settling in the Côte d’Azur, married and with two young boys, Laura started an English-language food blog to share her favorite Mediterranean recipes with friends.  She named it Your Guardian Chef.

Little did she know then, that what began as an impassioned hobby would one day become her own 'guardian angel', helping her to find focus and heal following the sudden loss of her husband in 2018.

In the wake of tragedy, Laura took a step back to adjust to her new life as a single mother of two teenage boys.  She found comfort in cooking and before long, found herself in front of her laptop, intent on re-energizing her hobby.  In the space of just five months, her renewed attention to the blog has seen it grow by fifty percent, her Facebook followers double and her videos explode with views and shares.

With a new puppy by her side, and a burgeoning blog in her lap, we are delighted to invite Laura to share her story and her passion with the Dishing with Delishes audience.
