I love and make so many of your recipes. I especially make the citrus yogurt breakfast cake a lot for us and to take to friends in the summer for morning coffee and cake. It is amazing! Being the chocolate lover I am, I am looking for a chocolate cake that uses EVOO instead of butter, like the citrus yogurt cake. Do you have something like that or is it easy enough to replace butter with the oil in any recipe?
What does your garden look like? I am preparing for a big garden this summer, last year was the driest on record in Tuscany, as you know, so I hope we don't have a repeat of that. I have a home just north of Lucca on 2.5 acres and looking for inspirations on garden design and layout. I am very excited also to do a lot of canning hopefully, so insights or resources for this too would be appreciated as well! Thanks in advance!
March has arrived and it’s still cold in Sweden, but I’m about to put some seeds in little pots indoors and keep on the window sills until it’s time to plant outside. What do you suggest, apart from tomatoes, is a MUST to grow?
— I have been following you x about 10 years now and I am so impressed with how you and your writing have evolved. also thanks for the tip on how to strip the leafy part off the central vein of cavolo Nero. ( I saw your video) here’s a question-/ I have been told that you can roast cavolo nero leaves in the oven and they come out crunchy like potato chips. Have you tried this and what is the outcome?
Hi,I have found farm with good quality pork and want to make menu for my restaurant “from tail to nose “.can you help to choose the direction in Italian cuisine?
We have rented a villa near Cortona in July 2023 .. there will be 18 of us 3 generations ages 82- 19 year old.. my parents are originally from Italy and we are trying to think of fun and interesting things to do during our stay that we can all participate in .. any suggestions as to what we showed see or do in that area? We will have our own transportation … we do love wine and eating as well … thank you for your time ..
Sounds delicious. Id love to plan a cooking class with you in October as I’m sure there would be interest in our group. What is the preferred way to arrange/book something?
We are happy to hear that your trip to Madrid was enjoyable and successful! What is your favorite recipe? We hoe to meet you sometime this summer. We are at hoe in Montefiascone VT from mid April until early October.
I will be visiting Italy with my husband and son soon (first time in Italy!), and we will be in Emilia-Romagna for a few days this month. I'm lost as to where would be good places to visit for good local food in the area. We will be in Florence for part of the time.
Any advice from someone "on the ground" would be most appreciated!
Ciao Giulia,
It's good to hear from you. I'd like to know if you ever add sugar to your tomato sauce to cut down on the acidity.
Thank you.
Ciao Giulia!
I have two questions for you :
1. What do you do with the leftover vanilla beans once your extract is over?
2. How did you begin food writing? If you had any fears, how did you overcome them?
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Giulia!
I’m going to steal a question from the Table Manners podcast and ask this: what would your desert island meal/last supper be?
- starter
- main
- dessert
- drink
☺️

Giulia,
What is the main staple (food) of Spain...if pasta is to Italy...what is "it" to Spain? Or are many foods similar to both countries?
Curious to know your take on their cuisine? ❤️😊
Sounds delicious. Id love to plan a cooking class with you in October as I’m sure there would be interest in our group. What is the preferred way to arrange/book something?
Ciao Giulia!
What do you think of Spanish cooking compared to Italian. I've always been underwhelmed - you can be honest :)
Great wines though.
Ciao Giulia,
Any special / favorite meals and/or restaurants in Madrid that you can share?
And thank you for the excellent content you provide. Grazie!
“We hope”
