It is right in front of me every morning, you know, and I can check and look at my garden and vegetable garden every morning, every day. So, it is deeply connected to my life and, of course, to the way I cook.

I produce some of my own vegetables and fruits—as much as I can. It is a lot of work, but it is very important to me, and also to the way I am raising my children.

Actually, when I started on Instagram, it was really like sharing with friends what I was doing, what I liked, what I wanted to share—what I liked to eat and what I found beautiful. Then, very quickly, some people discovered my work. At that time, it wasn’t yet something very developed or structured. It was simply my way of living and my way of cooking.

Moving to the countryside was also a big step and became an important source of inspiration for me. The relationship I have with my community is very deep and authentic. I think people know that I share things I genuinely like and that it is not simply about product placement.

I always collaborate with brands that I deeply appreciate. It can be in beauty, food or fashion, but there is always a kind of crush or genuine connection with the brand, you see.

Mindful cooking means being connected to nature, as I said before. It is also about being connected to our world and to what we feel. I think my approach is very healthy, not only physically but also mentally. Cooking helps me. My way of cooking is a way of connecting with the world and with other people.

For me, it is also a way of giving love to the people I care about—to my family and my friends. I think that is my motto.

A lot, actually. But I would say that I always have eggs. I think I eat eggs almost every day. I also always have flour because you can make almost anything with flour, eggs and perhaps some milk. In my fridge, I always have Parmigiano, as well as miso paste—you know, the Japanese paste. And lemons. Yes, I always have lemons. They are simply one of those basic ingredients I always keep at home.

For sure. >Beauty and skincare have always been important to me, ever since I was a young girl.

It is funny because my mother was never particularly interested in beauty. For example, when I was growing up, she probably only had one cream. But from a very early age, I was interested in taking care of my body and my skin. Now, at the age of 46, I feel that I was right to dedicate so much time and attention to it.

For me, it is something that requires intention and consistency every day. It is very important because taking care of myself makes me feel good.

Beauty plays a big role in my daily life. I do a lot of sport. I practise yoga, swim, run and do Pilates. In the coming year, I would also like to dance more. I am very disciplined when it comes to my beauty routine. For example, I always cleanse my skin every single night, whether I am wearing makeup or not.

Every morning, I follow my skincare ritual, and I use an LED mask almost every day. I also apply oil or cream to my body daily. I practise facial yoga every day as well. Even if I only have one minute, I always make time to do a few exercises for my face.

I think it is bread—my homemade sourdough bread. It is something fundamental to me. As soon as I come back home, I start taking care of my sourdough starter again. I even take it with me when I go on holiday.I use it to make things like focaccia or my homemade bread. For me, it really represents the taste of home.

It is very difficult for me to choose only three words, but I would say: Generosity, kindness and curiosity. Maybe that would be it.
