EPISODE 414. We're back in the podcast kitchen for a new episode! Joined by a true OG of Italian cooking content, Laura Vitale. We talk about her whole journey from early life, growing up in Italy and eventually settling in New Jersey -- where she's built a global audience by turning her love for cooking and traditional family dishes into one of the most expansive libraries of Italian food recipes on the internet. Tune in!
