Hi Giulia, although I never had a grandmother to have relationship with, I often imagine what it would be like. May your memories of her hold you close today and always. Take care.

I am so sorry about the loss of your grandmother. Mine has been gone for more than a decade and I still sometimes try to call her.

I just pruned a mint plant so I can't wait to try your zucchini carbonara!

Giulia, I’m so sorry to hear about your Nonna’s passing. I remember her walking by while we were cooking or eating outside, and giving a quick wave and a smile while continuing on her way. I know you will keep her spirit alive everyday as you share her recipes and inspiration! Her legacy will be treasured by all who come into you kitchen, and may her memory be a blessing.❤️
