Lou Ruscitto-Donato
Aurora Cooks! Chef
Lou’s coast-to-coast career began at a panadería in Los Angeles and continued in a fine dining restaurant on Lake Ontario, New York. Her experience there working under a chef from the Culinary Institute of America won her an executive chef position at a Pan-Asian restaurant in Seattle.
After returning to New York to become an executive chef at a wood-fired restaurant, Lou continued to develop her culinary talent at a private country club and as the owner of a catering business — and she now shares her love of multicultural cuisine with Aurora Cooks!
