While I warm up my voice and stretch my fingers ready for a new season of newsletters and cooking classes, rejuvenated by a week spent in Salento by the sea, it is time to do a little presentation to reintroduce myself and this project. Ciao! I’m Giulia Scarpaleggia, a food writer, cookbook author, and cooking teacher, deeply passionate about Italian cuisine. My love for food started at a very young age. At family gatherings, you could always find me in the kitchen, happy to cook dishes that made everyone feel good. In 2009, I created Juls’ Kitchen, a blog born to collect family recipes and stories from my homeland, Tuscany. What started as a personal diary has grown into my full-time job, which I now share with my husband/photographer Tommaso Galli aka @tommyonweb. Together, we tell the story of simple, genuine, and seasonal cooking, inspired by Tuscan traditions but adapted to everyday life. I believe that cooking is a way to take care of ourselves and others, a way to connect with our roots and the land around us. I teach Tuscan cooking classes in our countryside studio, welcoming people from all over the world to experience the beauty of our culinary heritage. I also write cookbooks like Cucina Povera, that’s celebrates the beauty of simple, traditional Italian food. Currently, we’re working on cookbook n.7 —stay tuned! If you love seasonal food, family stories, and an authentic approach to life, you’re in the right place. Don’t forget to subscribe to Letters from Tuscany, our weekly newsletter on @Substack where I share seasonal recipes, personal stories, and insights into life in the Tuscan countryside. 🍋🍅🌿 #JulsKitchen #TuscanCuisine #CountrysideLife #SeasonalCooking #LettersFromTuscany #CucinaPovera
