Shaye's Italian Kitchen

Italy is the land I am drawn to — the shared tables, the generous souls, the simple ingredients, the appreciation of harvests, the generational dishes, the stories, the olive oil. It is a country that has continued to welcome me generously. Even if my family comes from another part of the world… My family and I live in the United States and on our small piece of land, we grow our own food, cook our meals from scratch, and celebrate the seasons at our table. I travel back to Italy twice per year, now returning with guests for our Che Vita Getaways, to share this beautiful country with others during week-long culinary retreats in Umbria. My prayer is that the work of my hands would find a way to bless and nourish your own table. It is my delight to share these pieces of my Italian kitchen with you!
