RP149: Italian Food Expert Julia Della Croce
ReMARKable Palate #149: Italian Food Expert Julia Della Croce
On today’s show, I visit with Julia Della Croce, one of the pre-eminent authorities on Italian food. Julia has written 11 cookbooks, each focusing on regional Italian cookery, from Rome to the Veneto to Umbria, and books on pasta, antipasti, and even vegetarian Italian dishes. I met Julia on a recent trip to Sicily, and we shared such wonderful conversations about fresh seasonal food, I wanted to have her on the show to share some of that with you. We met again recently on a beautiful day in New York, and in addition to talking about the issues of local eating vs. importing, she shares with us some of what she’s been doing to teach school-children about growing and making food.
