SUCH a beautiful piece! I appreciate you being so open, and inviting us into what was a painful time for you. The recipes look wonderful as well…
Aww thanks Fiona, that means a lot to me!
This is really sweet, Bianca. Thanks for sharing this part of you with us! Food can be such therapy.
You’re such a beautiful writer!
Really beautiful!
Lovely piece Bianca.
Thank you everyone for the sweet comments!
Rock it sister. There is no worse pain than losing a loved one. A wonderful piece. And one that really illustrates how strong you are. As an Italian (and fellow pasta lover) I can’t wait to try your recipes! Bravo.

Beautiful, beautiful piece. I’ve never had my heart truly broken by a relationship but having just lost my grandma, this helps :)
Thank you Hanna. I’m glad it helped, even just a little bit :)
