Did you know that Ligurian cuisine is more than just pesto and focaccia? --- Ciao! Siamo Gabriele e Angelique. Benvenuti nel nostro podcast! We are passionate language learners, and we record for you the language learning podcast we’d like to play when we learn new languages. Our podcast, produced in mixed English and simple Italian, helps beginners and intermediate Italian language learners enjoy engaging content about Italy, its language, and its culture from day 0 of their language learning journey. --- It all started 6 years ago. Having been a maritime lawyer for years, Enrica pivoted into her career by becoming a food storyteller. She recounts her personal journey – both in English and in Italian - through the culinary tradition and flavors of Liguria with her food blog, “A Small Kitchen in Genoa”. If she’s not writing recipes and stories in her blog, she is offering private Ligurian cooking classes and food tours around Genoa. This month, she is releasing her new cookbook, “Liguria in Cucina – the flavors of Liguria”. It’s a recipe book that’s written both in English and in Italian – perfect for our listeners who want to replicate Ligurian dishes while learning languages! --- In this episode, we listen to the many stories behind some of Enrica’s favorite Ligurian dishes, and the particularities behind documenting food traditions across the region. If you liked our conversation, check out the link in the show notes to order her latest cookbook.
