Amy Riolo! The award-winning, best-selling author of 13 books, a chef, a television personality, an educator AND Amy is one of the world’s foremost authorities on the culinary culture of Italy. I can’t even remember when we met, but what I do remember was being fascinated by her story and her incredible wealth of knowledge. Amy has joined David and I on Foodie & The Beast too many times to count, and in January we had her on to talk about her new line of regional Italian products - which were delicious! I just needed more time with Amy than the 10 minute segment that Foodie And The Beast allows. Amy and I talk about her exploration of her Italian roots, her love of her culture and how she generously shares it with all of us. Quote "When I indulge in the flavors of other regions, it's not just about satisfying my hunger, it's a way of paying homage to the culture and history that make these foods so special." - Amy Products Mentioned: Available at www.ditalia.com Each Amy Riolo Selections Italian Primi Essentials Gift Box contains: Amy Riolo Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Abruzzo) - 17 oz Amy Riolo White Balsamic - 8.5oz Amy Riolo Sundried Red Pesto - 6.35 oz Amy Riolo Selections Maccheroni Pugliesi 14.1 oz Verrigni Spaghettoro Pasta - 17.6 oz Tenuta Margherita Carnaroli Rice - 17.6 oz Cordero Organic Cannellini Beans - 8.8 oz Guests Social Media Links:Amy Riolo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aasriolo Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amyrioloofficial Featuring Nycci Nellis https://www.instagram.com/nyccinellis/ https://www.thelistareyouonit.com/ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 06:42 Becoming a well-known person in the Italian culture 11:46 The history, culture, and tradition of Calabria 19:11 Embracing the mediterranean lifestyle 23:10 Serving people with the indigenous culture and food 27:17 Thoughts about the unique ingredients from Italy 39:10 Talking about the products from Amy’s box 41:06 Honoring the culture from amazing history 43:52 Talking about Amy’s books 56:12 How to connect with Amy Produced by Heartcast Media http://www.heartcastmedia.com
