Ciao, I’m Giada! The recipe developer, photographer, and very hungry Italian behind My Italian Flavors. I grew up in northern Italy and now live in Texas, where I recreate the Italian flavors I miss using ingredients you can actually find in American supermarkets.

Let’s bring a little more Italy into your kitchen, one delicious dish at a time.
