We met Paola Marsella, a consultant and teacher in prestigious cooking courses, specializing in the processing and preparation of meat.
It was from her that we learned that, among the many commitments that keep her at the forefront of the food sector, Paola Marsella is about to return to Malta for another adventure with her friend and colleague Hector, the soul of ERA ORA steakhouse!
PAOLA MARSELLA
Today we get to know Paola up close: beautiful, smiling, and full of dreams. Her enthusiasm is more active than an erupting volcano, and seeing her in her world, among steaks, grills, and knives, is truly exciting!
Most of you already know her and follow her on her channels to stay updated on her travels and carnivorous adventures.
But how did her passion for meat begin?
How did Paola Marsella approach this field?
Many are still surprised to see a woman in front of the burning grill, handling tools and steaks of all kinds with skill.
Yet, fire is the symbol of passion, and who can express passion better than a young woman?
Paola moves in front of the grill with extreme ease, seeming to be a living part of this sparkling corner.
She knows everything about meat and never hesitates to share secrets, tricks, and characteristics that for many of us are real taboos!
Where does Paola Marsella’s passion for meat come from?
When asked the classic question “how did your passion for meat start?”, Paola closes her eyes for a moment and seems to bring back an infinity of emotions that can be glimpsed from her smile.
Born into a family working in the butchery sector, she found herself in front of the grill partly by chance and partly because destiny wanted her there, lit and alive like her grill!
Growing up among steaks, knives, and visits to the slaughterhouse, Paola Marsella gathered a wealth of confidence and familiarity with meat. The perfect foundation for the destiny that awaited her future…
From traditional chef to queen of the grill!
As a chef and lover of infinite culinary creativity, Paola has always enjoyed challenging herself, experimenting with recipes and combinations as effervescent as she is.
When asked to work in front of the fire with meat, she reverted to her childhood and unleashed all her weapons, first of all, her confidence with the carnivorous world.
Taken from the restaurant kitchen and placed outside in front of the grill, Paola told us she took her first steps as a chef-griller before the eyes of the customers.
No doubt stopped her, from the first moment she understood that in that role she could fully express herself.
For her, it was a step that disrupted a path that seemed to belong only to the kitchen and that, in a short time, became fire and flames in the front row.
She became a specialist in grilled meat, to the point that her job was no longer just to cook steaks on the grill but to create high-level carnivorous recipes, with which she also won awards.
Meat and the grill are her kingdom
Why has she become so popular?
Because behind her feminine beauty lies a chef and a griller with surprising qualities and the amazing ability to control the fire without any difficulty.
We have always been used to seeing strong arms wielding tools in front of the grill while the steaks release the aroma we all love…
Paola has revolutionized the male image in front of the barbecue, making it even more interesting and innovative.
Seeing her as she prepares her meat recipes is a pleasure that makes tasting one of her creations even more satisfying.
Spontaneous and simple like no one before her
In addition to being a woman, Paola, unlike all other grill chefs, has something special that makes her unmistakable.
Her spontaneity and her cheerfulness…
As she tells you about her professional life, she is able to express her emotions in a tangible way.
You can see in her eyes the passion for her work that keeps her so busy but always full of enthusiasm!
When she moves in front of the grill, it’s impossible to ignore that this is her realm. She works and smiles, invents, creates, and enhances each piece of meat with great skill and spontaneity.
She prepares and cooks meat excellently and has made her knowledge a resource to draw from.
It is not surprising, then, that she has become so popular in the carnivorous world.
In addition to being lively and well-prepared, Paola Marsella knows her stuff and loves to share her experience with many steakhouses around the world.
Full of ideas and valuable insights for her fellow grill chefs, Paola is increasingly sought after for her professional consultations.
Who turns to Paola Marsella?
Steakhouse owners around the world, grill chefs who want to stay up to date, professional grillers who want her by their side to improvise unbeatable recipes, meat enthusiasts, event organizers… We could go on forever, but we want to focus on Paola Marsella the consultant.
Paola studies and works hard. She is always very focused on her consulting work, which keeps her busy day and night.
Those who contact her open the doors of their steakhouses and meat restaurants to welcome her ideas, advice, and often bold constructive criticism.
Before reaching her clients, Paola conducts a careful analysis of their situation from a distance. Through social channels, websites, and each client’s stories, Paola Marsella gets an accurate idea of what she is going to discover in person.
What is the purpose of a Paola Marsella consultation?
We know that experience is always the best advisor in any field. If you combine it with skills, technical expertise, and instinct, the job is done.
Paola is capable of constructively reviewing the procedures, roles, and dynamics of a steakhouse of any level.
She knows meat deeply, the optimal cooking for each product, the aging, the cutting.
With grit, she throws herself into every consultation, taking her place within the hosting team and finding the right path to make a difference.
Those who call Paola are not inexperienced; on the contrary, her clients are very demanding of their work and want to give the best they can.
For this reason, Paola plays a fundamental role in doing justice to the skills and experience of her clients.
Those who do not know her might think of a figure who comes into action and disrupts already established situations, creating some commotion.
Instead, Paola brings balance, discreetly offers her knowledge, and makes it available to her clients who, with skill, know how to adapt it to their needs.
Every steakhouse is unique, and Paola knows it!
For this reason, she does not offer ready-made packages with attached instructions. Our grill chef offers highly personalized consultations that leave nothing out.
There are many prepared chefs, but they are not always able to convey their knowledge in the right way.
Our queen of the grill does this very well…!
Passionate catering!
The conversation with Paola Marsella was a pleasant chat that gave us a glimpse into the future of catering and the meat sector.
She showed us the carnivorous world up close through a magnifying glass that captures every detail.
Figures like her can elevate the concept of consulting through training and affirmation paths in the sector.
Behind her sweet smile lies the determination of someone who performs their work 360 degrees and adapts it to the times, the sector’s demands, and the natural and physiological evolution of catering.
We can only wish good luck to our chef and queen of the grill and look forward to our next meeting to learn all the news about her work.
