“This tastes great!”. My husband will never say that about the food I cook because … I am not your average Italian: I don’t cook. I am not like those aliens (sorry, I meant people) who RELAX when they sweat behind the stove, dietro i fornelli. Cooking stresses me. In fact, as soon as I turn the gas on I really feel like a 90-year-old person who turns the computer on… no idea what to do next (ok, I am not talking about those 90-year-old “freaks of nature” who know how to send emails!)

I admit that roundabouts in Italy have always scared me. Until...

Mamma mia! (OMG!) So many words to learn. 

Born in Italy, I moved to Australia at the age of 25. And while I absolutely love this country, I remain fundamentally, consistently, and daily … Italian.
