Italian roots.
A world of stories.

A shared table, an unfamiliar street, a recipe carried across generations. Italian-ish is where my love of food, culture, and connection comes together.

The book

Italian-ish

Vegetarian recipes and personal stories inspired by my Italian heritage, the places I’ve traveled, and the people I’ve encountered along the way.

Book readings, recipe tasting, and Q&As bring those stories from the page to the table.

At the table

Sunday Dinner

An intimate gathering at my table, hosted by me. Inspired by the Italian Sunday dinners I grew up with, these evenings bring together food made with love, meaningful conversation, and people who may arrive as strangers and leave feeling connected.

A place to slow down, share stories, and stay a little longer.

Join the list for news of future gatherings. Dates and reservations will follow.
