An Italian Abroad: Funny Stories of Pasta, Pride, and Pitfalls


This was a lot of fun!

I recently sat down for a conversation with Christina from the It Is a Keeper foodblog, podcast, and YouTube channel to share unique insights into Italian food and what's been "lost in translation" about our cuisine. It was a rare chat filled with facts, core principles, and funny stories that you wouldn't believe.

We tackled the misconceptions, the pitfalls of recipes you find online, and the simple principles that truly define authentic Italian cooking—like regionality and simplicity. I open up about the hilarious, awkward moments I’ve experienced as an Italian abroad, including the shock of being served unsalted pasta at a fancy restaurant and the time a non-Italian author questioned with arrogance what I had for breakfast growing up.

Don't miss out on the key principles and the unusual stories behind the global misconceptions of Italian food.

Buon divertimento,
