It was so fun to talk to a fellow homesteader and mama who shares my love for cozy winter cooking. My new friend, Vea Carpi, is a farmer, cook, wife, mother, and restaurant owner in the Italian Alps. In this conversation, she shares all about her unlikely story of becoming a homesteader and what she is currently cooking and serving in her restaurant and home. I came away from this conversation with so many new ideas to try in my own kitchen, and I hope you will find some inspiration too. In this episode, we cover: - What lead Vea to start a restaurant out of her home - What Vea is serving in her farm-to-table restaurant and in her home - A creative way to use kitchen scraps to flavor future dishes - Italians’ simple approach to food - A variety of traditional Italian dishes and techniques that you could easily incorporate into your own kitchen GUEST BIOGRAPHY Vea Carpi is an ex-city gal who fell in love with one man and then fell in love with his mountains: the Italian Alps. Vea and her husband and three children live and work on their small mountain farm raising a variety of animals and growing their own food. Together they run an intimate farm-to-table restaurant, Mas Del Saro, adjacent to their home. Vea is the author of a cookbook in Italian and German entitled La Mia Pasta Madre.
