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 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 20 years as a food photographer, shooting for clients such as Atlantis Bahamas, The New York Times and Major Food Group and recently shot The Modern Jewish Comfort Food cookbook by Shannon Sarna for W.W. Norton.
2. I moonlight as a drummer in the band Greetings from Anywhere, I'm endorsed by WTS Drums and I'm the concert producer of the HudCo Presents series.
3. I'm in the one percent of the population who's mixed-handed. Although I do most things lefty (holding a pen/utensil, throwing a ball), there are things I do much better righty (kicking a ball, swinging a bat).
4. I'm a hiking fanatic and can often be found exploring 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.
