Hi! My name is Giovanna and welcome to my blog!
Chicago Girl’s Kitchen has been a dream of mine for a long time. I was constantly waiting for the “right” time, but I realized if I continued to wait that “right time” might never come.
I have always had a passion for food, whether it’s eating, cooking, or just looking at food. I’m all about it!! I’ve grown up in the restaurant industry, so food has always been a part of my life. Any time my family gets together it’s always around food.
To me, food brings people together, there’s nothing better than gathering around a table and eating with your favorite people! I first started cooking by helping my dad in the kitchen when I was little, and it has grown into my mom telling me I’m obsessed with food.
I decided to start this blog because I love sharing my favorite recipes and helping others find a love for cooking. I try to make food that is healthy, but I love sweets and could eat bread at every meal…its all about balance right?! Some of my recipes are my own, and some have been passed down to me from my family. I have been very lucky to have family members that are amazing cooks and that both my grandparents have saved their recipes. There is nothing like digging through your family recipes, and I truly mean digging, and seeing all the notes scribbled in their handwriting.
Mangia! Mangia!
XOXO
