Eat with the Seasons with Giulia Scarpaleggia

In Tuscany, you can't buy grape focaccia in November, and that's exactly the point. Food writer Giulia Scarpaleggia shares how Italians let the seasons, their grandmothers, and the family table shape the way they eat. In this episode, Giulia Scarpaleggia, Tuscan-born cookbook author, cooking instructor, and founder of Juls' Kitchen (named Saveur's best food culture blog), joins us from her family's farmhouse between Siena and Florence. We cover why Italian food traditions keep you connected to the seasons even without a garden, what "cucinare a occhio" (cooking by eye) really means and how she decoded her grandmother's lasagna, and why dinner is still the most important meeting of the day in her house. 🔗 LINKS Giulia's cooking classes & recipes: https://julskitchen.com Letters from Tuscany (Substack): https://julskitchen.substack.com 📌 ABOUT WHY ITALIANS LIVE WELL A conversation series exploring the habits, culture, and mindset behind Italian wellbeing — and what the rest of us can actually borrow from it. 🔗 To Join my Dolomites 2027 Waitlist: https://avantihealth.github.io/avanti... #WhyItaliansLiveWell #ItalianLifestyle #TuscanCooking
