| Episode 3.30 - Cooking LIVE from Nonna's House, Cookbook from the Netflix film | 06 oct. 2025 | 00:52:02 | |
A love letter to comfort food and the people who keep it alive, this episode takes a cinematic cookbook—born from a story of Italian grandmas cooking in a neighborhood restaurant—and turns its pages into dinner. We walk through “escaped birds,” a saltimbocca-adjacent pork roll with sage and prosciutto, seared in butter and olive oil until golden. Then we layer in a bright parsley salsa verde that cuts through the richness and finish everything on a bed of soft polenta that tastes like a hug you can hold with a spoon. We share why these recipes feel like a memoir you can eat: the faces in the book are the cooks behind the flavors, and their technique is practical, not precious. You’ll hear how to swap pancetta for prosciutto without losing balance, how to coax fond for sauce without scorching, and how a handful of fresh sage can perfume a pan. We break down texture choices for polenta, how to keep it oven-warm and silky, and the small, steady steps that make a home kitchen feel like a neighborhood trattoria. By the end, you’ll have a game plan you can cook tonight—roll, brown, baste, spoon—and a new respect for the way simple ingredients tell big stories. If food nostalgia, classic Italian comfort, and no-fuss kitchen craft are your thing, this one belongs in your weeknight rotation. If you cooked along or tried your own twist, subscribe, leave a review, and share your favorite Nonna-style recipe with us. How about a dinner with friends and family?

What happens when your purpose drives away? Our role as a parent has instantly changed.....and I am not really sure how to deal with this! Seems like people are in one camp or the other. When your last child leaves the nest, parents are either so happy to have the kids out of the house…..or they are crying every day. I am in the latter bucket! The change is so huge and monumental, it is kicking my butt! The day my last child left for college broke me in ways I never expected. Tissued required! What camp are you in? https://linktr.ee/giasitaliankitchen

| Episode 3.18 - What is the ACS Hope Lodge? | 23 avr. 2025 | 00:09:06 | |
I am so honored and blessed to collaborate with the American Cancer Society in Iowa City, IA. The Hope Lodge invited me to provide cooking classes and nutritional information to the patients and their families, in their beautiful dining and kitchen space. I started with some protein packed boneless, skinless chicken breasts and made 3 dinners for them. Check out the flyer handout and my full class packet on my website, link below. The American Cancer Society Hope Lodge program provides a free home away from home for cancer patients and their caregivers. More than just a roof over their heads, it’s a nurturing community that helps patients access the care they need. Each Hope Lodge community offers a supportive, homelike environment where guests can share a meal, join in the evening’s activities, or unwind in their own private room. Patients staying at a Hope Lodge must be in active cancer treatment.

| Episode 3.5 - Baby It's Cold Outside Veggie Soup | 19 janv. 2025 | 00:05:47 | |
Warm up with a bowl of Baby It's Cold Outside Veggie Soup, a delightful blend of seasonal vegetables that not only warms the soul but also packs a nutritional punch. This hearty soup is perfect for chilly days, offering comfort and nourishment in every spoonful.
Preheat your oven to 400°F . Dry rub - In a small bowl, mix the dry rub. 1 teaspoon of ground cumin and turmeric. Add ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ground coriander, garlic powder, sea salt, & fresh ground black pepper. Toss to combine. Store extra in a glass jar. Slice the butternut squash into 3/4 inch rounds, place on a prepared cookie sheet (with a sheet of parchment paper) and drizzle with EVOO. Slather with the dry rub. Roast for 45 minutes. Set aside to cool. Vegetables - Dice the carrots and onions. Sauté the carrots in 3 tablespoons of EVOO in a large stockpot (approximately 5 quarts) on medium heat for 10 minutes. Add the onions and sauté for another 5 minutes. Mince the garlic and add to the stockpot. Cut the ends off of the brussel sprouts. Add the brussel sprouts, peas and mushrooms then sauté for just a few minutes. Add the kale and toss so the leaves begin to wilt, just a few minutes. Remove the skin from the squash, roughly dice and add to the stockpot. Soup – add the broth to the stockpot and bring to a boil. Add the fresh grated ginger root, lemongrass and pesto. Simmer on low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and add salt if needed. Simmer for at least 1 more hour, more if possible.
