But Marco Bianchi is also a real social celebrity, the number of his accounts are remarkable. More than 20.000 on Twitter, more than 160.000 on Facebook and 35.000 on Instagram.

One of the secrets of his success is in the fact that he has been able to find a great balance between healthy food and taste. Eating in a healthy way doesn´t mean that you have to give up on some types of food. In an interview on Cakemania, Marco Bianchi highlights what follows:

Dessert is, par excellence, the unhealthy dish…

It is true, but even in this case everything depends on raw materials and quantity. For example, I really like cooking fruit cupcakes and muffins and, to make them healthier, I started using extracted juice scrpas in the mixture: the result is great.
