Bravissima Giulia! I can’t wait to return to my Italian kitchen to try these recipes and more from Cucina Povera. We are traveling in France until late May and I am also gathering more ideas from dishes I have enjoyed here. I’m taking lots of notes! Buon lavoro😍❤️
When I started food blogging back in 2006 or 2007, pretty much the entire food blogging scene was "hey, look at was I made last night for dinner. It was so good, here's the recipe."
It's incredible how much the genre has evolved in the intervening years.
I’m catching up on my reading and just got to this post. I want you to know I have loved your blog for a long time and have both your cookbooks. I have learned soooo much about Italian cooking from you and it has made me a better cook and love trying new things! I made the stewed lamb with eggs and cheese for Easter and it turned out amazing! I did leave a good review because I love everything you do and love the cookbook!! Xoxo Lisa
Ok, anxiously awaiting the artichoke recipe....I LOVE them. Sad to say they don’t show up at our Farmers market😞 and finding them in stores gets you dried curled leaf finds that are way overpriced. But I’m determined so we’ll see what happens. Went to the local market Monday and was thinking...”what a contrast to the ones in Italy. The one you took us to before class, the ones in Lucca, Florence, and San Remo.” Such a blessing to have those ingredients to work with.
Thank you so much for sharing the Everything Cookbooks podcast. Reviews can be so rough!
I do now laugh at the reviews for Modern Potluck. Some people say the recipes are too "exotic" or have too many vegetables. Others say they're so boring and provide no new inspiration.
One two-star review is called:
"Limited on the "Modern""
Another two-star review is called, "Too modern for me"
Maddening! But proof that you can't please everyone. Those who get it, get it. :)
One person was mad that I created recipes inspired by so many others I had tried. (Just like everyone does but I happened to mention my inspiration which not everyone does!)
Very lucky to have been a guinea pig for the zucchini cacio e pepe pasta! :D
This is lovely Giulia, and I am so glad SPN articles have informed your writing! Thank you for reading (and for writing!).
Guilia I love your writing about your thoughts on food. It does alter the way I now read recipes!
Your writing and your cooking is always so heartfelt. Thank you, Giulia!
‘A recipe becomes a conversation and a story with an open end’.
🙏🏻
Giulia, I enjoy your writing and your recipes! ❤️
I'm sorry to read about this bad review, Guilia. You might want to read this post from my blog: https://diannej.com/2013/manipulating-book-reviews-on-amazon-should-you/
