I’m so excited (and a little nervous!) to be writing my very first post here on Substack. After years of sharing recipes, stories, and meals across books, blog posts, and Instagram posts, this space feels like the perfect new home for a slower, more personal kind of storytelling—one where I can invite you in, pour a glass of wine, and write from the heart.
And what better way to begin than with some very happy news?
A Kitchen in Italy—my new cookbook—will be published November 11th 2025 and available for preorder!
This book is a love letter to the meals we’ve come to cherish since moving to Turin—our new home—and to all the recipes inspired by the places we’ve explored as a family across Italy. From cozy weeknight pastas to sun-drenched seaside dishes and happy holiday bakes, these are the 100 recipes that bring our Italian life to the table. I can’t wait to share them with you.
Over the coming weeks, I’ll be posting behind-the-scenes moments, recipe sneak peeks, seasonal menus, and little stories from my life, plus some surprises I’ve been saving just for this space.
Whether you’re here for the food, the travel, the memories—or just because you’re curious—thank you for joining me. I’m so glad you’re here.
Benvenuti!
Mimi x
