La Famiglia Di Bari: smitten kitchen

About This Blog

La Famiglia Di Bari is a chronicle of the vast and quirky travels of our modern blended family. I’m a native New Yorker, from Red Hook, Brooklyn. My husband, Michele, is from Rozzano, Milan by way of southern Italy. Our story starts with food. We met at a restaurant, one of his, in Brooklyn. And, most of the time, food is the frame through which I tell our stories here: growing it, cooking it, entertaining, inspirations, dining in and dining out and anecdotes about our little restaurant, Va Beh’.

I am intrigued by new cultures, new ideas and ways of seeing the world, and we travel frequently. My professional background is in the entertainment business, as a manager for musicians Q-Tip and A Tribe Called Quest. Travel and the arts will figure prominently here, but the literary and culinary are my personal passions. This blog is the place where I combine both.

So welcome to my slice of life, our family journal, photo album, personal forum for questions and answers, and the virtual window in to our modest, but special world. Thank you for peeking in. Please come back again soon, subscribe, or follow me @qiqs for more.
