Hey, I'm Amy! And I'm so happy you're here!! So many of my favorite memories in life seem to take place around the table, especially when surrounded by the people I love. And of course, all the better when nourished by some seriously delicious food.
I'm passionate about sharing Italian-inspired recipes that celebrate the flavors and traditions I grew up with. As a descendant of Italian Calabrian parents, food has always been at the heart of my family, and my love for cooking comes straight from my mother. She has an incredible way of turning simple, everyday ingredients into the most amazing dishes—meals that were comforting, flavorful, and made with love.
The recipes I share here are inspired by those passed down through generations, keeping the traditions alive while adding my own touch. Every dish is made with real ingredients for real people—just like the ones my mother made for our family.
Not only do I share Calabrese recipes, but since I married a Sicilian, I share recipes inspired by my dear mother-in-law.
I also take my own photos, and while I’m no professional photographer, what you see is exactly what I cook in my kitchen. No tricks, no food styling—just authentic, homemade meals meant to be enjoyed.
I hope my recipes bring warmth to your kitchen and inspire you to create delicious memories, just like my mother did for me.
Buon appetito!
