Gia's Italian Kitchen's Podcast
Remember how you used to have Sunday dinners with family? Let's talk about Italian food and everything around it. From interviews with experts to my cooking episodes to little recipes to travel tips...my podcast starts to bring us back to those Sunday dinner memories.
What's next? Imagine a unique cooking experience where you could be the hero! We will create memories for friends & family through private dinner parties (virtually or in person) & employer teambuilding events via Italian cooking experiences. You select a custom menu, I provide the instruction!
