Ciao, I am Giulia Scarpaleggia, a Tuscan born and bred country girl, a home cook, a food writer and a photographer. I teach Tuscan cooking classes in my house in the countryside in between Siena and Florence. I’ve been sharing honest, reliable Italian recipes for 14 years now, through my cookbooks and our blog Juls' Kitchen.

    Dreaming of Tuscany
    Giulia transports me back to Italy with each podcast. I always learn something new and come away feeling like I just visited the Tuscan countryside once again. Her recipes are truly delicious and comforting. Her Instagram feed is beautiful and her newsletter is so well thought out and informative.
  • RpizzAla
    Lovely podcast, so comforting to listen to!
    I love Guilia’s podcast! Listening to her talk about food and life feels like sitting down and chatting with a friend. I’m always excited to see a new episode. Her recipes are simple and approachable, but delicious!
  • chrismc58
    Juls’ podcast is one of my favorites.
    She reinforces my love of Italy with every episode. I not only listen to every podcast, but I also have her books and I’ve subscribed to her cooking videos on Udemy. Can’t wait to meet her in person whenever we can return to Italy.
  • HLWoodlet

    Jul’s Kitchen goes straight to your heart before it ever hits your tongue!
    If you love Italian food, if you love Italy, if you want to meet the most extraordinary young cook- who brings both of these things alive - do not miss your chance to listen to Cooking with an Italian Accent! These podcasts transport you to Tuscany- the recipes literally allow you to cook the food you remember from your time in Italy- and always always Giuliana responds to questions personally! She is a wonder. During these difficult times- these podcasts feel like the vacation you are unable to take!
  • Karin@yumandmore
    Fabulous and authentic
    Listening to Giulia tell her stories and share her recipes, is inspiring. Even her voice reminds me of our outings in the Tuscan countryside, the simple delicious ingredients found at the local markets, the cheeses, truffles, the oil and wine. Attending Giulia’s cooking classes is joyous and you gain knowledge of authentic Tuscan cuisine. I love listening to these podcasts.

    What a wonderful escape
    I love listening to your podcast, you're a wonderful storyteller! I listen to it on my way to work and it de-stresses me. Looking forward to more episodes and more recipes (I also bought 'the markets of Tuscany' book and i love that too!), don't ever change!
  • Dale Nat
    Love your passion
    Discovered your Instagram page and website recently which led me to your podcast. First episode I listened to was your interview with Juliana Lopez. Love to listen to passionate people speak, especially when it involves great food. More importantly, I love the story behind the food. Both you and Juliana let the stories shine in this episode. Look forward to listening to your next episode and pick up your Tuscany Markets cookbook. Hope you never loose your passion for food and sharing it with others. God bless!
  • BeeDee27
