After a long break, Cooking with an Italian Accent is back.
In this episode, I share a personal letter and a goodbye to my nonna Marcella, who passed away last year at almost 97. Through old family videos, memories of Easter lunches, homemade tagliatelle, and everyday gestures, I reflect on how she shaped my way of cooking, eating, and understanding tradition.
This is an episode about food memories, grief and gratitude, and about tradition as something alive — not frozen in time, but carried forward through cooking.

Honest, authentic, full of love!

I have listened to many podcast and followed many chefs from around the world. But I have not come somebody who is like Giulia. As she herself describes in her podcast, she is honest, authentic and full of love. She is so friendly and the authenticity of the cooking comes through in her words. She is so generous in sharing everything. All she is truly bothered about is to spread the word for Tuscan cooking. Thank you so much Giulia for what you have done for Tuscan cooking and for your gift to the world.
