Julio Genao

Chef Julio Genao is the executive chef at Casa Nonna, an upscale Italian eatery in midtown. Although he's typically whipping up Italian specialties, he does have a couple of seasonal ones up his sleeves.

Pumpkin is all the rage today, and Genao has tapped into that with a pumpkin-pancake recipe with maple butter and walnuts. Full recipe after the jump.
