A chef raised on Montreal Island was named the 'Top Female Chef' in Italy by Le Guide de L'Espresso. CBC/Radio-Canada was the first to report this story in Canada.

Jessica Rosval, who told the Italian publication la Repubblica that she worked at Pointe-Claire's Scarolies Pasta Emporium as a teenager, was recognized for her work at the restaurant Francescana at the Casa Maria Luigia hotel in the city of Modena.

In an Instagram post, Rosval wrote that "this prize is not just mine. A chef isn’t anybody and doesn’t do anything without a team!!" 

The Casa Maria Luigia also took to Instagram to praise its award-winning chef.

"We are happy that our family keeps growing and to witness that growth day after day, success after success," the hotel wrote.
