Most people can say they’ve taken a cooking class once or twice in their life. Not many people can say they took a cooking class in Italy making the dish in the region where it originated. I recently had the amazing opportunity to cook pesto gnocchi in the Ligurian region of Italy where pesto was…
The Art of Eating in Italia🇮🇹
It’s no secret that the Italians know how to cook. How many dishes do we dream about back home that are staples in the Italian cuisine? Cappuccino, espresso, spaghetti, gnocchi, ravioli, tortellini, risotto, panini, bread, bread, (did I mention bread?), prosciutto, mozzarella, parmigian, olive oil, pizza, tiramisu, gelato, and endlessly flowing wine.

“Thanks for eating with me”
My 2.5 weeks of singing, exploring, and eating my way through NYC. “Thanks for eating with me,” my friend Danni told me as we hugged goodbye. We were finishing up a two and a half week vocal program in New York City, and had bonded instantly over our passion (or some would say obsession) for…

“America Runs on Dunkin”
My love for coffee has grown exponentially in the past couple years, and honestly I’m not sad about it. I’m the kind of person who drinks decaf at night just for the taste. But it’s not just the taste of coffee that I love, it’s the feeling of the warm glass mug in my hand…
