Adam is joined this week by the divine Paola Bacchia. Since 2011, Paola has been capturing the beauty of Italian food and culture through her blog Italy on My Mind. Through photos, recipes and four incredible cookbooks filled with stunning stories from her family and people across Italy, Paola has built a beautiful community who all share a love for good food and Italian culture.
Settle in for a deep dive into Italian culture, an exploration of Paola’s life growing up in Italy AND the suburbs of Melbourne, and some of the most delicious foods in the world.
And of course, there are three scrumptious bakes to find out more about:
- Apple Strudel
- Putizza
- Crostata
Be sure to follow Paola on Instagram @italiyonmymind and keep an eye out for her new book, At Nonna’s Table, hitting the bookstores in Australia on 26 March 2024.
If you’re looking for a bake to test your skills, check out this week’s recipe for Adam’s Hazelnut, Ricotta and Cumquat Crostata, with a side of whipped yoghurt. A match made in heaven.
