Welcome to Juls’ Kitchen, my name is Giulia Scarpaleggia, an optimist, dreamer, I am a 30 year old full-time food blogger. I am the one that appears in the reflections of the spoons in this blog photos and – I have to admit it – I am also the responsible of the missing slices in each cake.
I live in Tuscany, in the countryside between Siena and Florence, I dream of a blooming vegetable garden, though I am content with a brick wall crammed with potties of fresh herbs and a rhubarb plant that suffers from the heat.
At high school I studied Latin and Greek for 5 years, but I fell in love with English. I wanted to be an architect and a forester, then I took a master degree in Sciences of Communication. I dreamt to be like Melanie Griffith in Working Girl, although after six years as an employee and event organizer I eventually understood that it was not my cup of tea. I read cinema magazines for years, knowing by heart the names of every actor and director. I opened a swimming fan club with my best friend, and this brought us for 4 years around Italy – and Europe – to cheer up the Italian team with our national flag painted on our faces. I attended an advanced English course, a graphics course and a wedding planner workshop.
It has been hard to find my place in the world, but eventually I discovered what I was meant to be and what makes me happy. Looking back, there was a constant in my life: the passion for food and cooking since I was a little girl.
In February 2009 I opened my blog to give voice to this passion, then I learnt to express it through words and images.
In January 2012 I turned my passion into a job: now I am a freelance food writer, I develop recipes for magazines and companies and I am a Tuscan cooking class instructor for foreigners and Italians. In other words, I cook every day, I took photos when there’s enough light to do it, I write too much and I eat with pleasure. I have fun and enjoy every single moment, cherishing every day.
