My Favorite Cutco Santoku-Style 10" Slicer

Roseanne @roseanneskitchen

Born in Queens, New York, from Sicilian parents (in the awesome time of the 80s/90s generation) I had the privilege of being raised by the most hardworking and kind family.

I started my journey on social media for a few reasons. One, was because I always loved sharing with people, whether it was food, deals, brands or a simple kind conversation. Second, because I was learning so much about how important it is to stay grounded with some “old school” ways in raising my three kids, specifically with nutrition. I dedicate my content to my mother, who showed me that cooking is a labor of love, a way to nurture and continue our culture and traditions. I also dedicate my content to my beloved father whom recently passed, as I was in between two worlds of caring for my own family while caring for my father (the sandwich generation). I felt that there was not enough content on social media to help people like me navigate though finding meal ideas for the elderly and their caregivers. I wanted to show all the wholesome foods that can be given to anyone you love! Now, as I am slowly growing on my platform, I am hoping to someday accomplish my many new dreamed-up goals that I have in my mind and heart. Showing my kids how to work hard for what they want. Anything is possible!

I couldn’t be doing all that I know without the most important influence in my life. My parents.

My Instagram started as a way to teach people how to hunt and forage wild food and prepare it because I believe food is medicine. Having a job that moves me everywhere made this blog evolve to represent the new places I live and new cuisine I try.

Mauro and Maddalena Castano @maddalenaandmauro

Follow

Mauro and Maddalena Castano of TLC's Cake Boss, Buddy vs. Duff, Buddy vs. Duff Christmas, Kitchen Boss, Next Great Bakery and a new show airing on A&E, Cake Dynasty, are owners of Carlo's Bakery, a global bakery empire, social media personalities and home cooks. Mauro learned to cook after moving to America from Milan, Italy, and Maddalena learned to cook from her Italian immigrant parents. The love for food and home cooking has solidified their love and has become their love language. Cutco has been a part of their story from the start of their marriage, 32 years ago when they received their first set, the Essentials Plus 5 Set! Without any official culinary training Mauro and Maddalena know how to whip up delicious and simple dishes. They understand that everything involving food today is about the social media post moment, but they believe with simplicity and love, your food will always be delicious and warm the heart. Without love, laughter and a little bit of fun, cooking turns into a chore instead of a bond and come-together moment! When they are not cooking for themselves and family they enjoy a nice day at the beach, a good night out for dinner and quality family time at home.

I’m an amateur backyard enthusiast! Meaning I mostly cook things on my smoker and love to post videos of what I make. I received my first Cutco set as a gift and have been amazed with how easy it makes things. From prepping to slicing, the knives cut things with ease. But the best kept secret is the cutting boards. Cutco products are a must have around the kitchen!

I’m Roxanne — your go-to kitchen coach, proud foodie and firm believer that healthy eating should be simple, flavorful and fun.

I spend a lot of time in the kitchen and when I decided to take control of my health, I knew one thing – I needed to cook smarter, not harder. That journey led me to Cutco — and one perfectly sliced veggie changed everything.

Now my bold Red Cutco Knives are non-negotiables in my kitchen and instant conversation-starters when guests walk in. They’re not just pretty… they perform.

I don’t just use my knives — I brag about them. Because the right tools save time, elevate meals and make cooking feel effortless. And when your kitchen works for you, healthy habits stick.
