My Story
For over 37 years Armida Scopazzi has been creating innovative and delicious seasonal cuisine. Upon graduating from City College of San Francisco, Hotel and Restaurant in 1988 she began working at the Casa Madrona in Sausalito. In 1998 she and her husband opened a restaurant in San Rafael, Scopazzi’s, with great success. She now operates a wholesale cheesecake and chocolate torte company, selling to many restaurant in the Bay Area.
She has been at the Corte Madera Town Center Farmers Market, Wednesdays noon to 5pm, for the past ten years.
I have always loved the smells, sounds, textures and tastes of cooking. The joy I experience when creating food is matched only by the pleasure I find when I see people enjoying my creations.
My family taught me that food brings people together and as the years have passed I have grown to appreciate the importance of meals in keeping families and communities together.
I was fortunate enough to have owned a restaurant that provided a place for the community to gather and enjoy the bounty of this special place. When it was lost, I found I missed being a part
of the food community. I was purchasing local, organic ingredients before it was the hip thing to do. The farmers markets are an important part of our communities and they are finally being
appreciated for being an essential part of our food chain.
I feel blessed to be able to work with food and share what I love doing with the community around me.
Quite simply, I love cooking.
Armida
