Memories go Here Nothing more do I love than a perfectly creamy and indulgently sweet chai tea. I am in love. I always get Chai tea wherever I go even if it’s the cafe at the edge of town. Except Italy! I don’t remember how I got through without my chai? Nonetheless, it’s my favorite,…
Over the last few weeks, I have been talking about food memories and reaching out to you to share them with me. Now I would like to reflect one of mine. I think there really is something “magical” about Christmas time. Whether you celebrate it or not there’s always a special feeling that evokes the…
When I was in Italy I discovered so many foods and treats that I would NEVER see in America. The country is so diverse in its food culture and thousands of people visit every year just for food alone, but not always do certain items make their rounds back to the states. And, I kinda…
So here we are at the holiday’s end. The fun has blown over. How? That fast really? It always happens that way and when all is said and done we go back to work and school feeling kind of funky. But, there is no need for that because our blessings are more exciting everyday than…

This weekend my cousin Marta from Italy messaged me letting me know she and her grandmother were making ravioli in Pontremoli. They were celebrating the Epiphany otherwise known as Three Kings Day! It makes me feel warm inside knowing that my family in Italy thought to reach out and share this news of gathering to…
I am continuously inspired by Food Media trends so I am very happy to collaborate with and help promote my friend Raymond Delucci, host of Line Cook Thoughts on Spotify. Ray has began a podcast series that will highlight the thoughts of young and seasoned professionals in the food industry. What will their stories be?…
I remember sitting in Rochelle’s office brainstorming show topics. In my novice experience this was the first approach to bringing a show to life! It all seemed like it happened years ago too. So much work compressed into a time warp. I always looked forward to the creative calls we had with JJ where he…
Yes, we have passed the major holidays and we are in full gear for a day dedicated to your sweetheart. May that be your man or lady. Or may that be rich and velvety chocolate. You can get chocolate anytime and anywhere, and I am sure you do. But chocolate is seemingly more magical on…
I share European-inspired recipes, collabs, adventures, pop-ups, and more! Plus, don't miss out on Sunday Night Pasta Programming for all the cozy dinner feels.
