Nature and food—our greatest healers.
Via Viaggio is a 100% woman-owned, woman-led, “soulcially” conscious company that comes from a place of need——to be supported in mind and body. My biggest life lesson (so far) is that nature and food are our greatest healers. Where we are unbalanced, nature grounds us, providing the seeds to grow beyond our everyday circumstances. This is where nature intersects food and health to deliver a plant-powered dose of deliciousness designed to give our bodies exactly what we need.
Deeply rooted in the soil and wisdom of our ancestors, Via Viaggio is part of a growing community of curious, inspired wellness seekers who make a conscious choice to feel better by embracing mother nature and her centuries-old plants as our primary source for healing——essential to our emotional, mental and physical health.

5 things you (probably) didn’t know about me:
1. I love to feed people really good food that makes them feel great. Maybe because I’m half Italian and half Jewish 🤔
2. I’m in The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Juicy” video. I play the French maid and serve champagne to Biggie.
3. I've authored 6 gluten-free, dairy-free cookbooks, including the bestseller Cooking for Isaiah, which I wrote for my son. He taught me that food can hurt——and heal.
4. I'm the founding editor-in-chief of Rachael Ray Every Day magazine (now defunct) and worked in magazines for more than a decade.
5. I owned a cult Italian bakery in Brooklyn that was featured in The New York Times, New York magazine and on "Al Roker on the Road."

5 things you (probably) didn’t know about me:
1. I've spent the past 17 years as a food photographer, shooting for brands such as Atlantis Bahamas, Breville and City Winery and recently shot The Modern Jewish Comfort Food cookbook by Shannon Sarna for Countryman Press.
2. I moonlight as a drummer in the band Greetings from Anywhere and am endorsed by WTS Drums.
3. I'm in the one percent of the population who's mixed-handed. Although I do most things lefty (holding a utensil, throwing a ball, writing), there are certain things I do much better righty (kicking a ball, swinging a bat).
4. I'm a hiking fanatic and often take advantage of my close proximity to trails in the Hudson Highlands and Harriman State Park.
5. I adore rescue dogs and am currently a proud dog dad (along with dog mom Silvana) to Poppy, my third adopted pitbull rescue.
