I value your writing so I wouldn’t ask you to lower your price. The issue is…so many writers are asking for paid subscriptions and there’s just not enough money to go around every month. One day perhaps!
I completely agree. Being first and foremost a reader here on Substack, I feel you. I rotate my subscriptions, keeping a core of 2/3 newsletters that I really love reading, and adding others for a couple of months.
We created a special discount for august, I hope that helps!
I am in awe of you and the way you have drawn us all in by your beautiful recipes, your poetic expression of the English language and ambitious offerings.
When responding to the survey, I wanted to check all the boxes! I love hearing about your travels, your family stories, your seasonal, delicious recipes and of course, the cook-alongs. Thank you for all of it and I’m looking forward to seeing you soon on a Zoom cook- along.
I would have liked to be able to choose more than one thing I want to read about in your newsletter. In fact, I choose all of the options!
As to vacations, we don’t travel in the summer for several reasons: our are grown so we aren’t forced to follow a school vacation schedule, the weather where we live (Portland, Oregon) is pretty fabulous in the summer, I have a vegetable garden to tend, and I don’t want to travel when everyone else is! Our beach vacation happens in February, when we head to Hawaii, where I grew up. I relish walking on the beach every morning as the sun is coming up and eating all the familiar foods. Our Octobers in Italy are the other fabulous vacation we take every year. What a wonderful time to be there! We’re looking forward to seeing you soon!
Also! A book (well author) rec: Katherine May writes some of my favorite nonfiction touching on subjects like burnout (what she calls wintering) and re-enchanting.
I absolutely adored her Wintering book, it helped me a lot face a tough winter this year, it put everything on perspective. And I have Re-Enchanting on my list for the summer books.
I grew up near the beach in California so the sea and the sand are in my blood. Living in Texas I miss it. We go to Florida every year to see Rick’s family and always take time to visit the beach while there. I always find treasures - shells, rocks, driftwood. My house is filled with jars and bowls of sea treasures to remind me. I love swimming in the salt water and walking along listening to the waves! It’s all so soothing and also so profound how vast the ocean is. One day I’m sure I’ll be living once again by the sea. You know I love your newsletter! You’ll hear no complaints from me. See you in October!
Welcome the new changes change is good and like the comment from Kait there are lots of reasons I enjoy your writing and your generosity with your recipes
Having recently visited Tuscany in May we visited Certaldo for the first time and loved the market at Livorno recommended in your Letters
We are fortunate to be able to travel to Australia visiting dear friends for a wedding in Perth in September Your recipes are shared with my Godaughter and there will be beach experiences with the little ones I’ll hopefully be checking in with you on the “ Cook a longs “
Sounds like you are going to have a lot of fun! Tomorrow we'll be sharing the new dates for the cook alongs for September, October, November and December, I hope we'll get to see soon!
Un bellissimo post, grazie tante Giulia! Mi ricordo a prima volta che ho sentito dei “diosperi” invece dei cachi quando era una babysitter a Firenze dieci anni fa. Il cocomero e l’anguria vanno benissimo! 🍉🍊
I enjoy your writing and purchased your Cucina Povera cookbook. I did not enjoy substack, so I did not renew my subscription. Keep writing those wonderful articles and recipes!
I love your approach to cooking but I wish you had a newsletter in Italian. I do not need more recipes or readings in English. Good luck with your endeavors!
Beautiful! It makes me regret not having a beach holiday this summer although we have a lovely one booked for another hemisphere over Christmas. Just lovely.
In answer to the poll questionnaire, I have multiple answers for several questions. I like regional recipes, quick weeknight recipes, and more vegetarian and/or fish, seafood recipes. I also like food traditions and stories, travel tips, cook alongs and live chats. If you decide to do a video of a recipe, that would be great. In other words, I want it all!
Thank you for sharing this book! ❤️ Such an important topic. I’m looking up both the book and the podcast asap! Eating to Extinction: The World’s Rarest Foods and Why We Need to Save Them, by Dan Saladino,

As for the polls, i also wanted to choose multiple!
I love the cool-along, the recipes, and the personal stories (like this one!) equally.
As for recipes. i love regional recipes, quick weeknight options, and, of course, dairy free options!
Same! I want it all!
you are the perfect reader! :D
Dear Giulia,

Thank you so much for your kindest words, Terry!
Tomorrow I'll be sharing the dates of the Fall cook alongs, I can't wait to resume cooking online with you all!

Hi Dede! We will be in Italy in October too. Maybe we will see you at the cooking class!
We’ll be cooking with Giulia for the third time on Oct 24. When is your class?
We will be there the 16th. So sorry to miss you! This will be our first time.
I would love to visit Portland and Oregon in the summer! It is actually pretty high on my list, sooner or later we will make it happen!
and Hawaii, it must be so beautiful there!
and I'm really looking forward to meeting you again in October!

I think most valuable are the things unique to Tuscan life and food: its authenticity and artistry.
it's a very interesting perspective, and what I love about Tuscan food and life, too

a volte i nomi di frutta e verdura sonno così buffi, a pensarci!
