IN THE MEDIA: Visit Yarra Valley
We chatted with Nadia Fragnito of The Vegan Italian Kitchen about the adaptability of Italian food with its emphasis on fresh produce and seasonal eating. Nadia will be sharing her extensive knowledge in a talk and demonstration at the Healesville Library during Ciao Yarra Valley Ciao this November.
VISIT YARRA VALLEY: How does the 'Italian Way' shape your life?
NADIA: It's about being passionate in all aspects of life, as well as food. It's about loving the ingredients you cook with, and for me, being vegan, I know I'm honouring an animal's life by not eating them; that's the true nature of being loving. Living the Italian way is about embracing your authentic self and not being afraid to express that. It's about enjoying the little things in life and turning them into feasts and festivities. There really is nothing better than being surrounded by wonderful company, conversation and mountains of delicious food.
