Hi! I’m Faustina Gilbey, and I’ve been on a lifelong adventure of exploration, both in travel and in the kitchen. Italy has become my home, fulfilling a dream I’ve cherished for years. As Marcel Proust said, “my dream became my address.” Traveling the world, I’ve immersed myself in writing, cooking, and the vibrant tapestry of global cuisines. The heart of my culinary journey lies in the bustling markets of India, Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Africa, where I’ve marveled at the artistry of local dishes crafted from simple ingredients, herbs, and spices. Amidst the sounds of sizzling woks and chopping knives, I’ve embraced the vegetarian delights of each culture, savoring the essence of their culinary traditions. Join me as I share tales of flavour, culture, and the joy of discovery from here in Italy and around the globe.
