Born and raised in Melbourne as a second generation Australian to an Italian family. I have always been immersed in the rich traditions of my nonni. Whether it was helping Nonno in his bountiful garden or watching over my Nonna’s culinary wizardry. I’ve always been captivated by the traditions passed down by my beloved grandparents.

Their journey to Australia, like many others at the time was one made out of necessity. My grandparents immigrated from Italy during the post war exodus of the 1950’s. After WWII many Italians left their homelands in search of a better future.

Being a second generation Australian the recipes, stories and skills of my nonni are more important now than ever before. I recognise the invaluable legacy my nonni have passed onto me. It’s a responsibility I embrace wholeheartedly, seeking to not only preserve their time-honored recipes and skills but also to share their enduring wisdom with others.

My Italian Tradition’ was created as the result of my passion and desire to learn and preserve my family’s heritage. Through engaging articles, delicious recipes, and heartfelt stories, My Italian Tradition aims to inspire others to embrace and cherish their own heritage.

Benvenuti a tutti!
