I’m American and I’ve lived in Italy for over four decades with my Italian family. My passion is sharing Italian stories, recipes, unique travel insights on my blog, my Flavor of Italy trips and tours,  Substack newsletter and podcast.
Now that you're here join me on my Italian travels. Experience delicious recipes and learn about fabulous travel destinations. Come along with me each week on my podcast journey for unique interviews with food, travel, artisanal and cultural personalities from every corner of Italy.
I’ll take you on a culinary walking tour of Rome or a weekend or a weeklong trip to somewhere on your Italy bucket list. Cook with me in my home or let’s take a deep dive into Italian wine.
My professional path has been multifaceted and I've reinvented myself a few times over! I started off as a vice president in international banking then segued into a baby products company owned and founded by me.
My true passion is Italy and Italian food and the creators behind both. Most of my Italian cooking and food knowledge came from my mother-in-law, a brilliant home cook. I refined my culinary skills through courses at Rome's Città del Gusto - Gambero Rosso cooking school, and the Roman Cooking School in Anguillara north of Rome, along with the creators I've met on my Italian journey.
You might have seen me on Italian or US television sharing food stories and recipes.
Join me as we explore every corner of Italy, taste every food, meet every artisan and listen to fascinating, often unexpected, Italian stories along the way.
